X revokes paid blue check from United Auto Workers after strike called::After a report called out Musk’s union-busting, UAW’s blue check got reinstated.
I wonder why the guy who bought Tesla might not want the UAW represented on the platform he bought? I can’t think of why that might be
In completely unrelated related news:
One of the things their talking about is an increase for workers who deal with electric batteries…
I just hope it gives them ideas. fingers crossed
Ah, the “free speech absolutist” doing completely free speech stuff.
Just as much of a Musk hater as the rest of them, but this was posted elsewhere. UAW changed their profile photo at the same time they announced the strike, which triggered the flag on the account. Apparently this is standard with all verified accounts until the photo can be reviewed.
Anywho, fuck Elon Musk!

Jesus, you people really are obsessed with trans people’s genitals.
Not even on topic and you still manage to chat about them. That’s not normal.
It’s time to put some of these billionaires in their place. Nationalize his shit, seize his assets, and revoke his passport and citizenship. Fuck Musk, sick of his childish attention seeking bullshit.
Nationalize SpaceX for sure. Let him keep Twitter though, at this point it’s such a dumpster fire that it’s more of an albatross around his neck than an asset, we don’t need the tax payers carrying that shit.
I would say we give him the French treatment. Fucker is just wasting oxygen
The socialist advocates for violence after reading one headline.
Is lemmy /pol/ for leftoids?
This dude is such a pussy. I wish he wasn’t terrified to fight Zuckerberg so we could all watch him get his ass kicked.
Whatever happened with that anyways? The last update I ever remember reading was Musk saying he’d show up at Zuckerberg’s front door “tomorrow” demanding to fight.
I mean, I can guess what ended up happening (or not happening) - but was that it? No show, no reason, no follow-up? Is he even keeping up the pretense of being serious anymore?
It was a double no-show.
Please don’t even talk about it. If it actually happened, it would make so much money for them. Let’s not make those withering schmucks the biggest ticket ever.
Last think I heard on it was one of their mums saying no. I forget which one though
Elon hates that auto workers have gone on strike? I’m shocked…
lol does he not realize that he has delegitimized any credibility his platform once held?
I’m sure they do not care.
That’s the whole point
It’s not that he doesn’t care. It’s the goal. Killing the credibility of social media is a top priority for authoritarians. They can’t have people talking to each other outside of the shaped narratives delivered by their media companies. That’s why companies spend so much on bot farms, shills and influencers. In order to shape public narratives when they can’t control the media.
“First they came for the trade unionists…”
Yes removing a blue checkmark is exactly the same as being kidnapped off the street and sent to a work camp.
before the Nazi party came to power, they would show up to rallys, protests and town squares to silence political oponnents through intimidation and physical violence.
A lot of people would consider Twitter a modern day digital “Town square”. i would say it’s eerily similar, the main difference is that there’s no physical violence just the silence.I don’t know if you know this, but there’s a big difference between how people act with anonymity and how they act in real life.
There are definitely real Nazis. They are definitely bad guys. Removing a blue checkmark is not anywhere close to the same as people being deported to concentration camps in the literal Holocaust.
Do you understand how ridiculous this sounds?
Nothing is going to happen to any striking workers. No one is “coming” for the actual trade unionists.
Elon and the Twitter company are not anonymous? They’re using their position to actively bury opinions they dislike. by removing a blue check it means less people will see union organizing efforts and messaging.
The Nazi started deporting after they came into power and again they came into power and held their power by silencing their opposition. Stop being a Corpo fasist apologist.
Nothing matters about X or Twitter, it is pitiful this passes for news in this world
I’m excited for his alcoholism to catch up.
Why should anyone care? I thought the blue mark doesn’t have meaning anymore?
Couldn’t this be breach of contract for services not rendered?
Elon heard something called Unify or Utigy was taking all the bad press and he had to fix that.
That’ll really show them.
Petty as fuck.
