If you want something to make you smile, contemplate how much money Elon has cost all of them. It seems they want to fire both Elon and the BOD

So in the campaign to get people to start paying the 8 bucks a month for their blue check, stats show that between new sign-ups and the people who told Musk to go fuck himself, Twitter had a net gain of 28 new subscribers.

And of course, it is not generosity...it is a lie to convince other 'celebs' and the hoi polloi to sign up.
King's free blue check is really disgusting because he had flatly stated that he refused to pay Musk in order to create content for Twitter. This was clearly designed to make people think that King had capitulated.
Musk is just fucking pathetic at this point.

If you are not on Twitter but are interested in what's going on with Elon Musk's Twitter, never fear, I am back as your Twitter Correspondent.
So, on Thursday, 4/20, Elon removed all the "legacy verified" blue checks. That means that if you are, say, Taylor Swift or the Pope, and you have a blue checkmark because you have proven you identity and want to avoid being impersonated, that check mark went away unless you paid the $8 to subscribe to Twitter Blue.
The assumption was clearly that, despite all their blustering, when push came to shove the power users would nut up and pay for it, if only to avoid their fans being scammed using their likeness.
That didn't happen. As of 4/21, only weirdo Elon stans had blue checks. Those stans immediately got mad, because they had intended to purchase access to an exclusive club, and all the cool kids left as soon as they arrived.
To make matters worse for Elon, several influential shitposters began posting about #BlockTheBlue, a movement to block all paid Twitter bluechecks, and some even released scripts that would automatically block all bluecheck accounts for you.
However, some people retained their blue checks who swore they hadn't paid for them -- in particular, Stephen King and LeBron James, who had tweeted that they would refuse to pay.
Elon admitted that he had paid for these users' blue checks out of his own pocket. Is he trolling? Is it a weird simp move? Hard to say.
Now, as of 4/22, a whole mess of famous people have bluechecks who aren't paying for them. This seems to be a move to confound the automated Block The Blue scripts. Lil Nas X is tweeting angrily about how he doesn't want his blue check. People are speculating that a new policy has been silently rolled out to automatically assign a blue check to every user with other 1 million followers. Several people have pointed out that this amounts to false endorsement, i.e. implying falsely that a notable person uses or endorses your product without their permission, which is a crime. Blue checks have been posthumously assigned to Anthony Bourdain and Terry Pratchett, whose estates my money is on to be the ones to actually sue.
dril, famous shitposter and Black The Blue promoter, keeps being assigned a blue check as an apparent punishment for crossing Elon, but you can lose your blue check by changing your display name, so dril just keeps changing his display name every time they bluecheck him. Elon and dril have been engaged in this game of cat and mouse all day. The "Elon bans dril and we all throw trash at him like New Yorkers defending spiderman" meme will probably come to fruition today or tomorrow.

has anyone ever seen a rich guy work this hard to lose all his money? Money like that usually takes generations to squander.

It just keeps getting better. elon crybaby just dropped, you can no longer make fun of someone for having twitter blue. he is equating jokes against twitter blue to the likes of racism, sexism and ableism. this is real.

And it isn't getting better for the blue check program over the past couple of days...how long will it be before Musk has to shit or get off the pot.
The fake checkmarks...the fact that so many are being purchased by people who then post disinformation...this isn't going to get Twitter Tweeters.

Celebrities are refusing to pay, and the trolls keep trolling.

I don't think that Elon is thinking at all, as you or I would understand the word.
I think he's acting on impulse,
And then he's flailing to try to undo the damage he did with his impulsive act.
And then repeating the cycle.
