It cracks me up that random accounts are now Twitter verified but the New York Times isn’t. Bullish on citizen journalism.

Him replacing the Twitter logo with Doge is amazing. I thought I was on drugs when I saw it.
The buyout of Twitter was the best use of billionaire money this millennium.
This is the way of things. Tabloids involved in sedition, warmongering, treason, etc. should be treated as the liars they are. Whores deserve to be shunned.
He's called them that before (despite sitting for interviews, like Trump). The headline makes it sounds like these are related and diminishes the claim. Anyway, I don't know why this kind of thing would require CEO micromanagement. The policy was already announced, and now they're enforcing it.
Because Elon likes to make people mad, apparently.
Doesn't twitter want 1000 bucks a month? I'm sure the NY Times can afford it, but that's a lot for most.
