Musk chaotically "gifting" blue checks looks *exactly* like the arbitrary system he claimed was in place before.
The only difference?
It's no longer a process, it's Musk's personal power.
Which has always been the point.

Nowhere does Musk explain how long the 'gifted' subscriptions will last.
His message to celebs & notables: "Pay attention to me. I gave this #bluecheck to you. And I can wipe it away."

Most of the world sees something familiar in Musk:
Man takes power saying the system is rotten.
Promise to tear it down & rebuild better.
Instead, break things, reward friends, and consolidate power around himself.

Musk wanted everyone to feel that many had signed up for #TwitterBlue.
And follow suit.
By striking checks globally, he proved that hadn't happened.
Now he's scrambling to create perceived value... for a thing whose value *he publicly torched 48h ago*
