      I came up with an idea of developing an extension to replace verified badge with Elon’s face

        Make it randomly show either that or a horse’s butt.

        Edit: no offense intended to horse butts

          Horse butts are kind of cute. Maybe a baboon butt?

    This has nothing to do with “walking back” the erosion of trust in verified accounts. As long as blue checks can be bought, there will never be a way to verify the account is who it says it is.

    What this really is, is an attempt to drive more engagement. He wants the try-hards to try harder so they will get the same features of Twitter without paying the eight bucks.

      I want to live on a planet where people don’t associate Elon Musk with technology in any way.

    A blue depressed Czech is way more fun than a ‘blue check’.

    I always liked how GOD had a blue checkmark.

    Like, “over here is confirmed to be the real Barack Obama, and over here is confirmed to be actual God”
