X tells advertisers to spend $1,000 per month or risk losing verification status::Elon Musk says that brands will need to pay X $1,000 per months in order to keep the verification badge..

X gon' take it from you

Lmaooooo

This just sounds like a desperate attempt to try and turn a profit before Twitter/X finally shits the bed cuz it ran out of money

I don’t think elon can afford to do that because it would look really bad for his other brands. I think he is better off trying to keep it somewhat alive

“Eat it”

-advertisers, probably

The mainstream ones yeah. But that void will get filled with shady advertisers. It's gonna look like the daily mail on there lol

Yeah it’s gonna be all scams. Quickest way to ruin an internet website is fill it with scams lol

The only thing that's being "verified" is the credit card number.

X.. Elon.. X Elon.. XElon.. XYlon.. I figured it out guys, he's an evil robot whose creator forgot the I part of AI.

What the fuck is this X thing? Sounds like a shitty version of Twitter, like the one that Trump is always ranting on.

It literally is twitter. It re-branded this week.

But Twitter is one of the best known brands on the internet. It would be mind-bogglingly stupid to just throw that away.

He announced the rebranding in a tweet sent last Saturday in the middle of the night. You know, like any competent business person would.

Why would anyone want to associate inane internet chatter with birdsong when they could simply associate it with porn? Elon has a very large....brain, and he wants to make sure you think of it as often as he does.

Rumor has it that our thoughts fill an aching void in his soul that can otherwise only be filled with apartheid emeralds or NFTs, but science has yet to find a way to test this hypothesis.

It's ok, we can finally sit down with the family and watch XVideos together :)

It's comically stupid

Yup.

Need some sarcastic quotes around "X".

Yeah, gotta figure something out. Can't really do the sarcastic UpPeR cAsE lOWeR cAsE thing with a single letter.
