Elon Musk Retaliates Against New York Times By Pulling Their Verified Badge
Elon Musk is clearly thinking that he’s all powerful and that people will bend to his will. I say that because news is out that he’s pulled their verified checkmark. Here’s what Elon had to say when this news got out:
And:
I’ve started calling Elon the clown prince of tech because he’s a clown. This behaviour is incredibly reminiscent of a 2 year old throwing their toys out of the stroller during a temper tantrum, and only serves to underscore the fact that Elon has not only lost the plot, but he has no real plan to run Twitter. So besides hoping that other media outlets will see this and pay up to keep their verified checkmarks, Elon is clearly settling scores as the New York Times is a media outlet that is highly critical of Elon. And that bruises his extremely fragile ego. The thing is, I seriously doubt that this will work as I see no signs so far that this is making media outlets and others reconsider getting out their credit cards to pay Elon.
I swear, this guy is a real loser with the only thing going for him is that he has a lot of money. At least on paper. And that’s not helping him at the moment. So I am guess we’re back to him being a real loser.
