so this happens automatically due to a change they made to their profile. They just had to re-verify. arstechnica makes a story out out of it as rage bait. 111 commenters on the arstechnica article rage about 'musk is literally a nazi !! omg' when he had nothing to do with this. Then is gets posted here, because all Musk rage bait must be posted here for some reason, and once again you guys just eat it up. Everyone who tries to explain it gets greyed out. ridiculous. this is embarrassing

  It’s funny how musk is both totally not responsible for any of the good things any of his companies do and yet he is 100% responsible for all of the bad things. Do you really think he has anything to do with replying to press inquiries? The top comment is right; this thread is embarrassing.

    Musks companies all have a policy of refusing to respond to journalists.

    Before he acquired it, Twitter responded to press inquiries. When he acquired it, he laid off the PR team. After he acquired it, Twitter stopped responding to those inquiries with anything but a poop emoji. Yes. He has everything to do with how Twitter replies to press inquiries.

      That’s a stretch. UAW could’ve confirmed it. Twitter pops up a big warning when you try to change your PFP. It’s like if I went to AT&T, changed my number, and complained that AT&T was preventing people from calling me.

        My statement has nothing to do with the UAW or changing your PFP. It's entirely about how Twitter deals or doesn't deal with the press.
