@Sheril Except it wasn’t s status symbol, it was a way that Twitter added value, by validating that the person was who they claimed. Musk thought it was a status symbol, because he thinks everything is a status symbol. I am torn between thinking he is just an idiot obsessed with status or that he deliberately decided to use his wealth to tear down a site that had been used to foment opposition to fascism. Maybe it’s a bit of both.
