Doesn't change the fact that the White House deleted the tweet after being fact checked. Why they do that ?

Dude, the White House put out a statement since mid October giving full context of this tweet, explaining how the Biden administration was working to increase the number of checks as well as negotiating to adjust the COLA percentages to help primarily senior Americans cope with inflation.

Now, could you say that they attempted to take a little too much credit because the previous percentage increase was set to kick in regardless? Sure. And I'll add that the left is always too chickensh!t to stand their ground with the tiniest pushback from the right. But it's funny how in the grand scheme of things weighing THIS against Elon himself (the owner of Twitter) Tweeting verifiable lies about an 80 year old man being attacked by a "male prostitute" and whatever other weird/questionable conspiracy theories insinuated/renting space in Conservative's heads because the victim is a Democrat, THEN deleting that Tweet, that THIS is what you crawled out from under your rock to condemn, when you never once asked why did Elon do that?

Let me guess, Elon is not the richest man in the world and he is not even a billionaire

@elonmusk
says journalists with “they/them” pronouns in bio will pay a $16 monthly fee instead of the standard $8 for verification because “they” identify as multiple people

Impersonation has always been against the TOS of Twitter.
Why don't you post Kathy Griffin's posts that got her where she is as well?

Seems actions having consequences can work both ways

lol the point of the twitter verification and his $8. missing from this.
And why this is so funny. It was in fact a parody. Comedy. Freedom of speech. Anyone who looked at it saw it wasn't @elonmusk. And yet she had the paid $8 verified check mark. And this is just a mere example of how so many people and bots are going to abuse this "pay for speech" system.

So much $44B winning for something worth $13B. So much genius. Best tantrums.

There are also rules that exist which pre dates Musk on parody.

Griffin was testing boundaries, she fcuked around and she found out.

No rules were changed to ban her but liberals accustomed to getting their way would find normalcy to be oppression now

Btw she is continuing to be against the TOS by using another account to circumvent a ban.

Didn't see anybody being oppressed or crying about it. Saw a point being made regarding the $8 check mark and the claim about freedom of speech from Musk. But hear this unaware remark of I-only-watch-FoxNews hypocrisy "liberals accustomed to getting their way would find normalcy to be oppression now." yeah liberals are the ones banning women's rights on abortion, liberals are the ones who pass new voting laws in Georgia forbidding people from giving water or food in line, liberals are the ones who cry election fraud at every turn with no evidence to date and attempted a coup to overthrow the government 2 years ago, yes liberals are even the ones who say gay and trans people don't deserve any rights and it was liberals in the 1950s who didn't want black children going to school or drinking from water fountains as white people. f*cking liberals shakes fist! @lololololol.

Many comedians have been doing this.And many more points going to be made when the people who actually have followers on Twitter leave the platform, amid the current mass exodus of many corporate ad sponsors who have already pulled out. $44B worth?

But the partially rolled-out plan faced widespread backlash, and in a display of defiance, some celebrities on the platform posed as Musk over the weekend, complete with a blue check mark on their profiles.

Comedian Sarah Silverman used her verified account to troll Musk, copying his profile picture, cover image and name. The only thing distinguishing a tweet coming Silverman’s account was the @SarahKSilverman handle.

“I am a freedom of speech absolutist and I eat doody for breakfast every day,” Silverman tweeted Saturday. Her account also retweeted posts supporting Democratic candidates.

Silverman’s account was labeled as “temporarily restricted” Sunday.

Television actress Valerie Bertinelli similarly changed her account name to the Twitter CEO’s, tweeting Friday that “[t]he blue checkmark simply meant your identity was verified. Scammers would have a harder time impersonating you. That no longer applies. Good luck out there!” She then answered a follower who asked how the checkmark no longer applies, writing, “[y]ou can buy a blue check mark for $7.99 a month without verifying who you are.”

After changing her profile name to Musk, Bertinelli tweeted and retweeted support for several Democratic candidates and hashtags, including “VoteBlueForDemocracy” and “#VoteBlueIn2022.”

The actress changed her account name back to Valerie Bertinelli Sunday, tweeting, “[o]key-dokey I’ve had my fun and I think I made my point.”

So her account was restricted even though her name was clearly attached to the account? Nice.

It appears Elon Musk has fired the director of software engineering at Twitter who, with a team of researchers, found "Tweets posted by accounts from the political right receive more algorithmic amplification than the political left."

Twitter will join the ranks of those mediocre right leaning social media echo chambers that the average person can't name.

Conservatives, the right (and their foreign based wannabees) will celebrate it as a win. After realizing there's nobody to troll or offend in a crowd of like-minded "people" (hereby justifying their sad offline existence), they will look for another popular social media platform to whine about exclusion and bias, then proceed to take that platform over.

Major advertisers have fled Twitter since Elon Musk took over the platform a little over a week ago admidst concerns about a rise in misinformation, hate speech, and other distasteful content under his watch. Musk’s company-wide layoffs cut major portions of the company’s content moderation team and its entire Ethical AI team, after all.

Musk, who spent his first few days at Twitter talking about how great things will be for advertisers, responded by threatening his own ad clients. “A thermonuclear name & shame is exactly what will happen if this continues,” Musk tweeted Friday. He was so rattled that he admitted Twitter was in a tight spot on Friday: “Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers.”

That’s a confusing strategy, to say the least. Twitter doesn’t have the targeted advertising capability that marketers demand when they’re trying to sell individual products and services, so most of Twitter’s ad revenue comes from brand awareness campaigns. Companies paying to promote their image worry more about running ads alongside inappropriate content, and it’s hard to imagine how threatening to smear brands will promote healthy business relationships.

There’s good reason for companies to be concerned, even though Musk has said “nothing has changed with content moderation;” the billionaire Tesla CEO makes loud and conflicting statements about how he plans to moderate the platform, simultaneously declaring Twitter a haven for free speech absolutism while promising that it won’t turn into to a “free-for all hellscape.” Since the SpaceX CEO took over, the platform saw a massive spike in hate speech, with use of the N-word jumping 500%, according to one report. Musk himself tweeted and then deleted an obviously false conspiracy theory about an attack on the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Twitter controls just a fraction of the digital ad marketplace. For most big companies that buy ads on Twitter, the money they spend there is almost an afterthought in their overall marketing budgets. Cutting off that flow of ad dollars may not be a difficult businesses decision at a lot of companies, which means the general feeling in the air about Twitter could have a huge impact on the social media company’s bottom line.

$44B worth. Value for money.
Once again the point of all this and claimed freedom of speech by the ultimate hypocrite impulsive tantrum rich boy has gone over the heads of most right eyed persons. As usual. They can only interpret the world through feelings about people and iconoclasts. And pointing anything out, any facts is a meltdown.


Anyways the capitalist market will dictate how this goes and they're speaking loudly. $44B loud. Very entertaining.


Then comes the blame cry how the leftist liberals cancelled Twitter and Elon Musk because they always get their way.

Did Jack Dorsey pull a $1 billion scam so that he could work on his Twitter 2.0 passion project?

Twitter's "heavy tweeters" — who make up less than 10% of users but post 90% of the platform's tweets — are disappearing from the site, says an internal company research report, according to Reuters.

The internal report, titled: "Where did the Tweeters Go?," said heavy tweeters have been in "absolute decline" since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Reuters' Sheila Dang wrote in an exclusive report on Tuesday.

It defines heavy tweeters as users who log in to Twitter six or seven days per week and tweet around three to four times per week, Reuters reported.

This dwindling population of active users generates half of Twitter's global revenue, the report added, per Reuters.

Twitter's internal report also mentions a company study, which found that traditionally popular topics on the platform like news, sports, entertainment, esports, and celebrities are in decline among English-speaking users, Reuters reported.

On the other hand, cryptocurrency and NSFW, or not safe for work, content have been the fastest growing topics of interest in the last two years, per Reuters, citing the internal report. NSFW content typically includes some form of sexual content, nudity, or violence.

Interest in cryptocurrencies peaked in late 2021, but subsided after this summer's crypto crash, Twitter's internal report added, per Reuters.

Twitter also highlighted in its internal document that it's losing a "devastating" number of active users interested in fashion or celebrities like the Kardashians, as these users likely move to Instagram or TikTok, the outlet reported.
