For £8 a month you can hide the fact that you are stupid enough to give the richest man on the planet £8 a month https://t.co/fsFkWm24Fj

"You can hide the fact you were gullible enough to pay for a blue tick" is just amazing , weird nerds thought verification was some special status and not a safety feature to prevent impersonation of public figures, and ruined it so fast they gotta hide they're Elon's paypigs https://t.co/UYXq4Plzbz

So now you'll be able to buy a blue check, and then hide it so you're not advertising that you're a sucker. Incredible. https://t.co/uJ8i48XlFc

There is nothing funnier than people paying $8 a month for a pointless little tick just to get so ferociously slagged about it that they hide it out of shame https://t.co/cImApYzzBH

Can’t say I’ve seen a retail brand tell their customers “You disgust us. We hate you” with this much force since Abercrombie and Fitch ruled the American mall. https://t.co/ly7IQXWPN0

Verification was created as a way to prove you are who you say you are, misinterpreted as a mark of status, and now thanks to one wealthy manbaby it is neither. Absolutely incredible. https://t.co/EDPttyxfb3

Perhaps Elon Musk will listen to this guy.
Hey @elonmusk what’s this about blue checks going away unless we pay Twitter? I’ve been here for 15 years giving my ⏰ & witty thoughts all for bupkis. Now you’re telling me that I have to pay for something you gave me for free? What is this-the Colombia Records & Tape Club?🙄
