If a pimp has an odor then it’s probably the scent of jizz mixed with moldy money. I think that about characterizes Elon’s breath pretty well.
The New York Times, along with several other organisations and celebrities, said they would not pay for the tick.
It prompted Elon Musk to launch a volley of insults at the newspaper.
“The real tragedy of @NYTimes is that their propaganda isn’t even interesting“, Mr Musk, who owns Twitter, wrote on the platform.
“Also, their feed is the Twitter equivalent of diarrhea. It’s unreadable,” he added. [..]
Under Twitter’s new rules, blue ticks which once showed official, verified accounts, will start to be removed from accounts which do not pay for it”

One might think that there has to be a basement in Elon’s cesspit-of-a-brain, a point at which the harm he’s willing to do to prove that he’s more (ok, not sure the word here, it’s certainly not “right” or “smarter” because people who choose the word diarrhea to describe something clearly aren’t either, so let’s go with, “bombastic”).
I mean sure, he’s greedy. What else do you say about a guy who willingly chooses to be a PR rep for the worst of the worst of the worst? From Russian Oligarchs to the Taliban, from the most misogynistic shitstains to actual murderers and other criminals, Elon’s game is just $$$. It is what it is, and there’s no consequence for it.
On the plus side, the more bizarre his behavior, and the less civilized, the closer Twitter comes to realizing it’s own Tik Tokian demise. Little e-Nero is well on the way to flushing the bird, beak and all, down the crapper.
Truth, though, Elon doesn’t actually think the NYT is crap, he’s just mad they won’t pay him, along with an increasing list of other individuals and institution who won’t be intimidated by his toxic, gangster rhetoric.
Many news organizations including CNN, the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post – companies which also said they will not pay for Twitter verification – now have gold ticks.”

I’m honestly not sorry to see Twitter turn into Shitter. Elon is social-media Fentanyl, toxic even in tiny doses. And if you can’t learn to control your addiction, you wind up dead. Education or elimination, both do a very nice job decreasing the stupid from our society.
