Reply to comment by JimTheSatisfactory in Why a Blue check mark is now $8 on Twitter and Elon Musk's Next Steps - A piece of speculative business non-fiction by BandicootKind705

If someone else bought Twitter I am sure there wouldn't be this much focus on it.

Mainly because that someone else might not be spouting all the crap Elon is

Seriously just seeing people absolutely lose it at the idea of their favorite celebrities being charged a fee for a checkmark is ridiculous. Stephen King subreddit is losing its mind rn. When really who gives a flying fuck? I'm on that sub cause I like his books idgaf if he's mad he has to pay a small fee for a Twitter check mark.

Yes. I think people feel have expectations with Elon, that he can make it a truly great public square type social media. Its a historical challenge and it's interesting to watch a historical man of culture taking it on.

JFC, stop drinking the Muskaide already - dude is a giant petulant man-baby that fails upward, not some paragon of virtue.
