    Hey Tesla auto workers, I’m so sorry to hear that every single one of you suddenly came down sick for the foreseeable future. I hope you get better precisely when the UAW strike is resolved!

    Fucking hell Lemmy is full of people who only read headlines. Worse here then Reddit.

    Twitter’s verification policy temporarily removes verification from accounts that change profile pictures, which the UAW did in conjunction with the walkout.

      no that totally makes sense cuz in the past when I changed my picture no one knew it was me even when my handle stayed the same. there was literally know way of knowing who I was so how could I possibly be verified, ya know? so, I get it the UAW, the - largest automotive workers union in the world which, has been currently announcing they’ll be striking, forgot they couldn’t do that as part of the TOS, I guess. I mean it’s not like Muks has full control and does whatever he wants anyway.

    It’s to the point that he might actually have benefitted the UAW by doing this.

    It might well have reached the point that he’s so widely recognized as a shallow, childish, fatuous, vindictive douchebag that he’s a sort of reverse bellwether - his opposition to someone or something actually leads to increased overall support and his support leads to increased overall opposition.

    It’d be interesting to see what Twitter/X’s terms of service contract says about buying the blue checkmark (I can’t be bothered to spend time on it). I’m sure there’s something like “we can strip your checkmark if you don’t pay us, if you maliciously impersonate someone, etc”, but I can’t imagine them having a clause saying “we can strip you of your checkmark if our racist narcissist CEO has a hissy fit, so there!” I’d love for UAW to sue X and Musk over their $8 checkmark, win, and then walk away from X and Musk.

    Just as a reminder, if Nazism wasn’t allowed on twitter, then Elon Musk would have to ban free speech like this.

    Edit: Satire folks
