So "X" - nothing to see here. Elon's in control - Part XXX

The only one triggered seems to be you

But what I find consistently fascinating is the sycophantic 'reply guys' beneath every single one of his tweets. No matter how much he embarrasses himself, no matter how much of a balls he makes of Twitter, no matter how cruel or obnoxious he is (actually, it seems the more obnoxious and cruel the better) they're there to give him the positive feedback loop he so clearly craves. 

Remind you of anyone with an orange tint?

Getting paid to be a horrific person still makes them horrific people. Elon is however putting issues on display for the world to see and so will get more attention than others because he is seeking the attention. The man desperately wants to be considered the world's smartest man.

The main good he has shown is that a CEOs job is overrated given how many ceo jobs and other jobs he is supposedly doing at the same time.

So why don't you stop giving him the attention he seeks?

giving him attention? i'm sure elon is tracking what people on boards.ie are saying about him.

Because some people are bootlickers and think they will somehow benefit from being on "team elon"

Had me fooled too.

TBF he had an air of mystique around him which was also propped up by social media influencers, not to mention his involvement in SpaceX and Tesla. He’s no dumb, dumb by any stretch, but….

The whole thing reminds me of a Simpsons episode, Last Exit to Springfield. Ending with Burns finally releasing that Homer wasn’t the "brilliant tactician" he thought he was.

It’s pretty funny actually.

Indeed its fake it till you make it, Elon forgot that he already made it due to being born to a father who owned an emerald mine. Now he just keeps faking it because he doesnt have any actually personality outside of the false one hes locked himself into. He is a man of no substance, a black hole of pure unfiltered narcissism.

Twitter has announced they're going to remove "Legacy" blue-tick verifications, so only people who pay for Twitter Blue will have a blue tick.

However, it seems they're also going to announce that they're going to enable Twitter Blue subscribers to hide their blue tick, probably because it would then be a definite sign that you've paid for Twitter Blue.

Absolutely genius. Dilute genuine verification by offering Twitter Blue, then remove geniune verification, then remove the reason why many did buy Twitter Blue (to have a blue tick and make themselves appear to be important).

Because soon after it was announced they'd be removing legacy blue-ticks, there were a lot of tweets from people saying it would make it easier to know who to mute/block.

So Twitter Blue I guess will still allow people to post longer tweets, see fewer ads, boost their tweets on the For You and trending side of things, but you can hide your blue tick so people don't know you've paid to boost your tweets.

The blue tick will no longer have the same weight it did once they remove legacy blue ticks, as it'll no longer mean it's an account that is notable for whatever reason, but just that the d*ckhead pays $8/month to Twitter to make themselves look important.
