Surprised that they haven’t accused Musk of Censorship yet.

I don’t think Musk is expecting to make much money from blue check marks. He’d have to basically have 50 million people get one in order to make any money on it.

Yeah they “pulled” it, technically.

NYT didn’t want to pay the blue-check upcharge, even though it wouldn’t amount to anything more than pocket change to them.

Guess they want to hire more fake news fabulists instead.

Misleading headline. As annouced months ago, the blue check mark will now be for people paying $8/month, which the Times is not willing to do.

The payments are only there to bring down the number of Twitter bots. The payments make having hundreds of Twitter bots very expensive.

Elon Musk @elonmusk

The real tragedy of @NYTimes is that their propaganda isn’t even interesting

Could that be considered a Mean Tweet?

Re the NYT, assume everything political in the leftist mode is either a distortion of the facts/truth or an outright lie until proven otherwise. (The Alan Bragg school of legal corruption equivalent).

That’s what the MARXIST leftist media does to moderates and the conservatives, and it Has worked much of the time.
