Wasn't the twitter checkmark originally designated to signify the official account of a celebrity/well-known person, so that people couldn't pretend to be them?
Reminder that libs wanted to do this under Trump. They made a website that would snopes your posts. You could just present a card with a true fact on it and magas had to take you seriously. Can't remember if they charged though.
Not sure if he means this will only be open to people that pass the verification process. IE you can't just pay to get a blue check without also already being approved for having one?

was it Verrit? :chairman-daou:
It was. The social media app so stupid it turned :chairman-daou: back into a revolutionary. (Sort of. Not really. But much less of a lib)

I don't have dogshit takes. We will buy back the blue checkmark like Allende bought back property from the landlords and exploiters.
I didn't mean you personally
I'm saying we will become Allende and reappropriate the blue checkmark so that our takes will be taken seriously.
How did that end for Allende I forget
Its gonna be different this time I swear
how did that end for allende I forget what happened to that dude
:deeper-sadness:
it was originally a way of telling who will be first against the wall when the revolution comes, and under Musk's plan it still will be
