It was the paid blue checkmark for $8 back in 2022.
Kinda old article info without much current stuff except the lawsuit against the ad trade group.
Still makes me gleeful reading about his stupidity.
It does, until you realise that his monstrous wealth insulates him from any consequences, deflecting them onto the heads of mortals. No matter what he does, he’ll be alright.
Not only that, but there are thousands of people insulating him from those consequences. People at Xitter working to keep what functionality they can, despite years of knowing what a shithead Musk is. People who keep the operation of SpaceX separate to make it successful despite his involvement. The Russian and Saudi investors who gave him the money to buy Twitter when he ran his mouth off about it.
I felt a little better reading today how many of his children are conceived IVF or surrogate. I can’t fathom having anyone having sex with him.
And now we don’t have to!
He's so insecure though, all the mocking he receives online is pretty satisfying
