When a wave of imposter accounts began using the verified checkmarks from Twitter’s Blue paid subscription service to post misleading tweets while pretending to be some of the world’s biggest brands, it created so much chaos that Elon Musk seemingly had no choice but to revoke the paid checkmarks entirely.
“Basically, tricking people is not OK,” Musk tweeted, as some users began reporting that the option to pay $7.99 for a Twitter Blue subscription had disappeared, while others who had been verified previously found that their “Official” blue checkmarks had been reinstated.
Tempting. Is this a subscription where I am paying for months or years, or can I just pay $8 one time and take out an evil company with the right single tweet?

I'd check the trading on Wall St. to see who shorted these stocks.

I don’t do twitter. I’m not sure what verification means. If i set up a verified account named @BidetSaysSo, will congresscritters start doing my bidding?
Or will they even notice my tweets?

Are people really that gullible? All you have to do is click that profile and check the number of followers and maybe read a few tweets. It’s not hard to determine if an account is real or not. Good grief.

At least now and through their hatred of Twitter, we get to find out all the nasty, dirty tricks evil leftists do to harm other people.

Odd. Just a week ago the Feds were talking about starting up an investigation of Twitter on national security grounds. Now we're seeing tweets that are seriously impacting critical companies, such as defense contractors and pharmaceutical companies. You don't suppose these tweeters who are doing this might have some connection to...no...no, that's crazy. Forget I said it.

Musk's purchase of Twitter may be the worst business decision he has ever made or will ever make. He paid $billions too much and borrowed $billions. Worse: He's ticked off the Biden administration. His businesses are regulated by MANY federal agencies such as the FAA, NASA, SEC and FTC. The FAA has been letting SpaceX off the hook over and over, especially regarding SpaceX's activities in Texas. His companies are in real danger of Biden's minions in the White House instructing these agencies to BRING THEIR HAMMERS DOWN!

I'm trying to decide whether to be angry, or kick it to the curb with an "I don't give two Fs." I'm leaning toward the latter.

Chris Bouzy. Bot Sentinel. There are a number of us on Twitter warning him DAILY to not let Bouzy remain on Twitter, but Elon has been lackluster in his response. I dont know: maybe he is planning something. But Bouzy is probably one of the more upfront in his terrorism with his bots. There are probably lots of others seeding Twitter with bots. But Musk would do well to kill the bots of Bouzy. That little punk has been quite industrious in kicking a number of people off of Twitter and YouTube.

Some of that loss was in our 401(k). Before you start slamming corporations look at where your pension funds and retirement funds are invested. You may hate the stock market but chances are rather high that part of your retirement depends on it. The SEC better do some serious investigation on this. Not that I’m holding my breath….

Maybe people should stop believing everything they see on social media sites instead of letting them run the world.

Stock analysts legally do the same thing everyday and get paid for it. They can merely suggest certain things might happen with statements like “people familiar the situation are saying” or “sources say”. All they have to say is a $20 stock is worth $5 and there goes a few billions depending on their reputation. There are some very famous occurrences resulting in massive loses. Bad enough to take investment advice from so called “experts” let alone business advice or information from a Twitter post without due diligence. It’s an internet jungle where lies, deception, filth and insanity muddle its value and credibility. The stupid don’t survive or at least they lose money.

Never start a sentence with ''Basically'' and do not start a sentence with ''So.'' If you have an education, speak/write like it. At a certain age, misspelled words on a blog are usually caused by fat fingers.
As to the deaths of some blue birds, it is one thing to count the bodies on the field. Something else again to cart them off for burial.

Twitter as a publically traded equity now Mr. Musk finds it was hemorrhaging red ink losses. Instead of the Geatapo investigating Mr. Musk's foreign contacts why not those at the Securities and Exchange Commission, the auditors, the financial analysts and the officers that falsified financials?

Oh no! A company whose job is to provide weapons to all parties to maximize human suffering has lost its value due to a fake tweet! Very sad indeed! "Great job" to investors who did not look at the handle. And kudos to the investors who entered a long position after the carnage!
