    imagine thinking this actually hurts the UAW. Musk can’t even get news sites to take the Twitter name change seriously; why would anyone care that they lost their worthless verification?

    Can they just pay their damn workers and not make it come to this? The used car market is only starting to recover from the covid shortage induced craziness.

    I’m not bothering to dig it back up, but I thought I remember something like it was based on a policy when a verified user changes their logo. The verification was put back once reverified. Stupid, yes, but if policy it makes more sense.

    I’m not big on defending Xitter, but IF this is uniformly handled, this is the least of our reasons to get torches and pitchforks after them.
