      Why are you insulting fat people by associating them with him?

      Or cowards?

      Or pieces of shit?

    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.

    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!

    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

    Does he think, like, anybody at all actually gives a fuck?

      Look at it this way, this could have been a headline about the issues the union is striking over. Instead, it’s a headline about a billionaire playing with internet checkmarks.

      Yeah, I actually like how several businesses I know are no longer touching or using that hellscape. Hell or Twitter is where nazis go.

      It’s still the best place for breaking Sports news so until the beat writers move off I’m gonna keep lurking.

        You’re being downvoted but this is very true. And Twitter has sometimes made it difficult to see those Tweets when you don’t have an account.

        A number of sports journalists have joined Threads though. I don’t care for Meta, but I’m still rooting for Threads as an alternative to Twitter so there would be a less scummy way to get sports updates.

          No reason Threads won’t become as scummy, if not more so. Why not root for Mastodon instead?

            I’m rooting for mastadon, but I’m also practical. User adoption is an important criteria and due to Mastadon’s decentralized nature, it will always struggle against centralized services like Threads and Twitter.

            I root for Threads because Muskrat is a piece of shit and I’d be delighted if his haphazard business venture failed. I never thought I’d say this about anyone, but Elon makes Zucky seem likable by comparison.

            Because I don’t think people like Woj are ever coming to Mastodon. I use Mastodon, but it is largely tech people.

      Absolutely. For a while I had sympathy for people who used it as their main business platform, but they’ve had time to adapt by now.

    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.
