Elon Musk’s Twitter dumpster fire, Wednesday edition
Another day, another round of confusing news coming out of Twitter, Elon Musk’s US$44 billion plaything. Think he’s having buyer’s remorse?
He’s had to cash in more Telsa stock
Elon sold about US$4 billion in Tesla stock to help finance the Twitter purchase. To make things worse, Tesla stock is already down by half this year.
The “blue checkmark” situation still isn’t clear
Did the option to purchase a blue checkmark for $7.99 a month start today? Or has it been postponed again?
What’s this about a new “Official” label?
So this is like a super-special blue checkmark? And it’ll only handed out by Twitter?
No. Wait. Never mind.
Mush–my word for him now–just killed the new “official” designation hours after it rolled out and after some organizations got the label. He’s obviously just making shit up as he goes along.
Can $8/month save Twitter?
And speaking of the blue checkmark situation…
Brilliant.
