Ben Collins, NBC News: “Twitter employees want to stress that the company is a nightmare right now and you cannot work there. And the website is built on sticks and it might fall apart. It’s a house of cards.” “Elon is deeply out of his depth.” “This could be really bad.”

It gets worse.

On MONDAY - the day before the election - if Elon makes his announced deadline, LITERALLY ANYONE will be able to buy a blue check on Twitter for $8.

The blue check becomes meaningless. LITERALLY ANYONE would be able to impersonate LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE, and have a blue check on their name.

And since the vetting and moderation staff have been gutted, they almost certainly will. Right now, racism, holocaust denial, and antisemitic commentary are surging from bots, fascists, and people like the jackass formerly known as Kanye West.

By Tuesday, election day, if he makes this deadline, Twitter will probably become the biggest fountain of fraud and disinformation in the world - and many actors WILL use that fountain.

BE AWARE. BE READY.
