    I present to you:

    https://twitter.com/esthercrawford/s...09344976470016

    So you need parody stated in the name but to distinguish between subscribers and verified, a light grey info in the bio is enough.
    Christ, it just keeps getting better. Almost like they shouldn't have started selling "verification" checkmarks in the first place or something. Who would have thought?

    Don't worry, the next change to the rules will happen immediately after someone follows the new and everchanging by the minute rules and gets banned for following the rules as stated.

    8 bucks for the Blue "Verified" checkmark.
    4 for the Grey one "Official"
    2 for a Red one "Real Person"
    1 dollar for a Black one, just to be a troll by making black the cheapest that doesn't do anything.
    I wouldn't put it past him at this point.

    Someone should tweet this to him. I'm sure he would love this. This also misses a gold/platinum tier for the true musk-rat mars colonist.
    You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.

    Elon Musk saw pay to win mobile games and is trying to apply it to twitter.

    The helmet design was introduced in 1916, so it could be WWI.

    So because Elon is a very stable shitposter, the "Official Checkmark" is now dead. Or is it? Who knows! Who will know in 5 minutes?

    https://gizmodo.com/elon-musk-twitte...ing-1849751644

    In other news, there's a growing list of major advertisers who are at least "pausing" additional ad-buys on the platform. It's a growing list, so he's gonna need to get a lot of people paying $8 for the privilege of being the product!

    Waay benefit of the doubt I gave this. Yet its a Wehrmacht soldier, aka a Nazi. The uniform is that of Nazi Germany and I linked the Getty Image describing it. Getty could have this mislabeled of course. As I also stated it's reckless to You Know, post any German soldier of that era, case of You Know, Nazi Germany.

    Wonder why all those soldiers were not trial as Nazis after the war.

    Because "being a Nazi" was not, itself, an actual war crime. War crimes were trialed at Nuremberg. Anything further would have been up to post-war Germany itself.

    So you have no proof that they were all Nazis. Good to know.

    If they served in the Wehrmacht between 1933 and 1945, that's all the "proof" you need to "prove" they were Nazis.

    Any argument to the contrary is, fundamentally, playing defense for Nazis, by lying about the facts.

    Again, another ridiculous claim without any proof.

    I will never understand why some folks feel it necessary to carry water for actual Nazi's in the year of our lord 2022.

    I like precision and details, and lopping all German as Nazi is a bit much, don't you think ? According to Endus reasoning, every German citizen that did not leave Germany in that time period is a Nazi.

    Here's a link to the original image from the Getty Images archives.

    A German Wehrmacht soldier carries a cage of carrier pigeons used for relaying messages, on the western front during the German invasion of France, known as the Battle of France, in World War II, circa May 1940. Germany's victory in France in 1940 followed the "Phoney War, (September 1939-April 1940) and the German breakthrough accomplished at great speed meant France was forced to surrender in June 1940.

    The Wehrmacht being...

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wehrmacht

    The Wehrmacht (German pronunciation: [ˈveːɐ̯maxt] (listen), lit. 'defence force') was the unified armed forces of Nazi Germany from 1935 to 1945.
    Phew, hopefully this charade can end and you can apologize for mistakenly defending a Nazi for no apparent reason.

    All the proof you need is right there. They were Nazi soldiers fighting on behalf of the Nazi Reich. Thus, Nazis. It's not complicated, and your choice to play defense for Nazis won't ever change the facts.

    Yes, the facts do not change, even if you spin them like you usually do.

    Anyways, back on topic because being a Nazi defender is boring, I'm enjoying that apparently nobody on Twitter listened to Elon and voted Republican based on the results of the US election so far.

    Too bad, I guess he's not the influencer he styles himself to be. Even on his own platform now!
