Honestly, I don't think I mind. That seems like a win-win

Billionaire wastes a lot of money, and a mostly-useless social media company goes away

Since he bought it the investors made out so no big deal and he can afford a capital loss.

Well I didn't claim he was going to go broke - just that he wasted a lot of cash.
 
That will be the change, a charge for a blue mark. There won't be free speech, through happy to be wrong.

I mean... fine based bigotry.... I could see the merit. Broadcast to the world once we've verified your account that you are a ****monger bigot. How is this NOT a bad thing? Verified racists to avoid. I mean... I'd celebrate them self identifying.

Of COURSE that isn't the purpose at all.... nope... it's just to make sure verified users are not shut down because of free speech.
