It’s so inconvenient when people join together and stand up for themselves, right Elon? You better do something that reminds everyone that only the people with too much money deserve a voice. It definitely won’t make you look like a whining toddler. /s

I fucking hate Elon Musk, but this story is probably nothing. They changed their profile pic which automatically removes verification marks for a short time. They had to implement this after someone used a paid check mark to impersonate a drug company in a way that embarrassed them into lowering their price on insulin.

So, he's turned off the internet for a nation at war to prevent an attack and now he's engaging in strike-breaking behavior like Hurst and the newspapers of old..... Who has the legal ability to go after him? DOJ? ICC? Can someone figure this out and strap his ass to a St. Andrew's cross in the Hague already?

No capitalist state is going to go after him for anything, he's a billionaire. He's above the law in every way that matters.

lmao

Death to America

Seriously, this article again? This was disproven the third time it was posted. Fuck musk and fuck Twitter and solidarity forever, but stop with the fake stuff, we better than that, we have numbers
