Someone Paid $8 For Twitter Blue And Erased

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.

Comments:

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!

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 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.

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!

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….

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?

During a keynote address at a Ford Foundation symposium, then–California attorney general laid out her plan for a “Back on Track” crime recidivism reduction pilot program in Los Angeles. The program, modeled after a similar initiative Harris had launched as chief prosecutor of San Francisco, would provide social services to young adults in the 18 to 24 age range who were convicted of “non-violent felonies.” Harris’s sister program in San Francisco allowed first-time drug offenders to take high school classes and get a job, rather than go to prison.

New and existing members of the Caucus have spent the past two days at a retreat in Washington, D.C., discussing how to approach the speaker election later this month. More hard-line members are pressing for the caucus to stand united in opposing McCarthy, R-Calif., on ideological grounds.

As Republican Adam Laxalt’s lead in the Nevada Senate race dwindles with 93% of the vote counted, his campaign is reportedly “bracing for a loss” and weighing asking for a recount. Laxalt is ahead of incumbent Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto by just 800 votes after 23,000 mail-in ballots were tabulated in Clark County on Friday. The results from the mail-in ballots are favoring Cortez Masto at a 2-1 rate. Clark County, home to Las Vegas, reportedly has about 27,000 mail-in ballots left to be counted.

The Lakeside Alliance, a group of Black-owned construction companies building the center, said they are investigating to identify those responsible for what the Obama Foundation described as an “act of hate”. The noose was discovered on Thursday morning on the premises of the center, located in Jackson Park, and the police were notified. The Chicago Police Department (CPD) confirmed that they are aware of the matter and investigating. Chicago is ‘MAGA Country’ according to Jussie Smollett so these claims should be taken "seriously"!

PHILADELPHIA—Call it “the White Wave.” A flood of white envelopes containing mail-in ballots lofted Democrat candidates to victories in several key Nov. 8 races. Case in point: Democrat John Fetterman will occupy Pennsylvania’s coveted U.S. Senate seat instead of Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz. In that race—and several others—mail-in ballots acted as a breaker against the “Red Wave” of wins that Republican leaders had hoped would wash across the nation at a time when Congress and the White House are both Democrat-controlled.

Surveying the wreckage of the disappointing Republican midterms, voters were left scratching their heads, trying to figure out what went wrong. With the fundamentals being as bad as they were this year, Republicans underperformed expectations, and it was fairly obvious that they would experience no red wave by early in the evening on Election Night. While I've seen plenty of postmortems already, the single biggest issue that wrecked the wave was mail-in voting combined with ballot-harvesting, which all but eliminated Republican hopes in states where Democrats control the voting rules. This is why Senate polls were so wrong in these states.

Election Day is increasingly looking like election month, and frankly, unless state residents under our federal system get control of this, I see no end to it. In the worst cases, ballots are emailed to everyone who has ever been registered to vote whether or not they’ve died or moved away, faulty ballot printing results in valid ballots being tossed, equipment failures misregister votes, ballot drop boxes are left unmonitored, and so on -- all of which contribute to an atmosphere in which corruption flourishes. The more this happens, the more voters believe they cannot vote themselves out of policies and politicians with which they disagree.
