Opinion | Virtue-signaling Twitter elitists don’t want their blue check marks anymore WashTimesOpEd
But since Elon Musk brought some changes to the social media platform he bought, this is exactly what’s happening.
“We’re exactly like you!” the newly starred Sneetches tell the ones who already had them. “You can’t tell us apart.”“Good grief,” the original ones say. “We’re still the best Sneetches, and they are the worst. But, now, how in the world will we know?” It’s a parable about discrimination, and it ends with the Sneetches running from machine to machine until no one is sure who began with a star and who didn’t.Mr. Musk has changed his verified user program, which used to award blue check marks to people with prominence of some sort, whether they were government officials, media figures, journalists, celebrities, users with large followings, or in some way otherwise notable.
Mr. Collins, it’s worth noting, was suspended once already by his employer because he was unable to contain his personal disdain for Mr. Musk while covering Twitter. It’s astounding that NBC allows him to continuously express condescending opinions about the people and subjects he writes about. Anti-gun activist David Hogg groveled, calling the blue check a “cringe mark” and tweeting that he was “so sorry to anyone who thinks I paid for Twitter blue and that I caved in. I did not.”
