yeah, a blue checkmark is whatever, but what message does that send?

"Criticize me and I'll punish you and there's nothing you can do about it"

It's way scarier that this is happening publicly because it means Elon doesn't give a shit about being seen as abusing his power or being petty, or unprofessional or any of that. If you step out of line, he'll punish you

Leaking DMs is also wild. What if Elon can read all of Asmon's DMs? He OWNS Twitter. There's 100% a backdoor for government requests to access anyone's DMs. He has the power to leak ANY of your DMs anonymously.

How in the fuck is that not FUCKING SCARY and LITERALLY censorship through intimidation?
