“Twitter Blue subscribers can now hide their checkmarks”

Elon managed to take the once-coveted blue check and turned it into something that’s embarrassing enough to warrant wanting to hide it 😂

I see that as a win, the blue check mark had become a source of elitism and snobbery that wasn’t given out for consistent reasons.

Can this not be easily used for money laundering? Use a ton of bot accounts to buy blue ✔️?

Forgive me if I don’t know how money laundering works, but how do you get the money back out of Twitter in this scenario?

It only makes sense if it was Twitter’s dirty money being cleaned.

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.
