Twitter and Musk

Twitter in the past 24 hours has been an even more spectacular explosion than Musk's SpaceX. Let's take a look.
Musk is "personally paying" for the blue check marks of some celebrities. This has simply served to infuriate the celebrities who publicly stated they would never pay for a blue check mark. LOL.

Musk's crumbling technology fails at permanently removing blue check marks. Making a laughing stock of Twitter.

The question will be shortly -- What advertisers?
Seems like Musk is taking the Twitter 2.0 rocket ship and aiming it full speed straight at the ground.
Twitter seemingly now requires all advertisers to have a verified checkmark

Within hours of instituting of Musk implementing his new advertisers policy requiring a blue check mark to be paid for in order to advertise, Twitter 2.0 finds that their few remaining large advertisers simply drop advertising. This forces an immediate change to the policy.
Twitter Reportedly Is Now Requiring All Advertisers to Pay for Verification Unless They Spend at Least $1,000 per Month

So as expected Musk took away the blue check marks from major corporations and government entities --- and immediately paid fake Twitter accounts showed up impersonating brands and attempting to rip people off.

After Thursday’s change removed verification from New York City’s official government account, the account tweeted Thursday evening: “This is an authentic Twitter account representing the New York City Government.”
Later, another Twitter account bearing the same profile image and a slight variation on the official account’s username replied to that tweet.
“No, you’re not,” the impostor account said. “THIS account is the only authentic Twitter account representing and run by the New York City Government.”
