What I found more amusing is that even if you pay for verification you still have a tweet limit. Imagine paying for a limited service of what was free 6 months ago.
What a crazy last month this has been. Apparently, to qualify to run a social media company, your intelligence should register in the "if someone removed five IQ points from you, you'd be too stupid to breathe" range.
It's certainly conjecture but it's not wild speculation. This comment a few above links to various articles about the individual pieces. The bullet points are attempting to connect the dots and while it's not "proven", it certainly makes a lot more sense of Musks' actions than I've been able to.

What is the source for this? This appears to be something someone typed in their notes app.

I mean, I've never been mad at their exclusion if it's something easily located in a ten second web search.

Paying a bill from a few months ago is not the same as renewing an annual contract. These may both be true

I thought I read something last week about Twitter and Google kissing and making up. Am I misremembering the story? What’s going on?

I give anyone on Twitter with a Blue Checkmark the stink eye. Majority of them are fascists anyways.

I've seen this posted in several places as gospel, but where is any proof that supports this?
