Best as I can tell, Elon Musk’s plans for Twitter appear to involve de-legitimizing truth and legitimizing untruth.
He wants to eliminate (or severely loosen) content restriction, and his plans to charge blue checkmarks for identity verification will surely discourage it.
Now, maybe Musk doesn’t REALLY understand what he’s doing, and naïvely thought that charging verified users for the privilege of Being a Famous Person on Twitter would help him recoup the billions of dollars he sunk into this ridiculous vanity project.
But that defies Rule Number One of Social Media: if you charge a monthly fee, that kneecaps your popularity. You can’t have a thriving social network unless everyone is allowed to participate. And why would any well-known person want to pay Musk for the privilege of being here?
I’LL SAVE YOU SOME TIME: NO PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE TEACHING CRITICAL RACE THEORY TO THEIR STUDENTS, NOR ARE THEY GROOMING CHILDREN INTO GENDER TRANSITION SURGERY. DRAG QUEENS ARE NOT MOLESTING CHILDREN, AND TRANS WOMEN ARE NOT ATTACKING CIS WOMEN IN PUBLIC RESTROOMS
THERE IS NO “BORDER CRISIS” OR “CRIME WAVE” HAPPENING. THAT’S JUST THE SAME SHIT REPUBLICANS SAY EVERY ELECTION TO SCARE PEOPLE. DR. FAUCI DID NOT COVER UP THE TRUE CAUSE OF THE CORONAVIRUS, NOR INITIATE LOCKDOWNS AS A MEANS TO SUPPRESS THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
