OT Musk/Twitter - The Great Experiment

Yet another fail. Your quiver is limited.

Are you sure about that?

Keep lobbing. Schwing!

Not lobbing, maybe teasing a little.

You and everyone else.

Trump doesn't need Twitter, he has his own social network now.

It's the greatest social network ever.

Already 1000x bigger and better than Facebook and Twitter combined.

Perhaps the greatest social network ever, at least some are saying that.

One of the biggest problems with twitter has been monetizing it.

Dang, time to buy stock in it.

One of the biggest problems with twitter has been monetizing it.

Twitter is profitable. It makes plenty of money. It's just not a stupid unicorn like the stock market demands it to be.

As a business Twitter is fine.

They've already been doing that

Ah. So he wants to just a blue mark for those people?

someone check in on ABM, he's probably distraught over this.

I think so. I think he's suggesting the blue checkmark should be one of the perks for those who already pay.

We should all chip in to get ABM a blue check mark on the Truth Social Network.

Blue means liberal lover, right?

He'll figure it out. He always does.

“Background check”

 

[Phatguysrule]

Musk suggested that offering a verified checkmark to everyone who pays

would massively expand the verified pool & make bot armies too expensive to maintain.

Musk clarified that this checkmark

should be different from 'public figure' or 'official account' checkmark.

This seems like a good idea to me. In general, more people being verified online is a good thing.

Anonymity is also a good thing, so offering a way for people to choose to be verified is great.

As an aside, we just signed up for CLEAR. We'll see if it gets us through aiports quicker, or not.

Thanks again.

Nah, Trump needs Twitter.

PS: If Trump runs in 2024, I wouldn't be surprised if Romney runs as a 3rd party candidate to potentially spoil Trump's party (so to speak).
