    Just as much of a Musk hater as the rest of them, but this was posted elsewhere. UAW changed their profile photo at the same time they announced the strike, which triggered the flag on the account. Apparently this is standard with all verified accounts until the photo can be reviewed.

    Anywho, fuck Elon Musk!

      From the original Intercept article:

      This article was updated to include information about a Twitter policy to temporarily remove checkmarks from verified accounts that change their profile pictures. Twitter offered only an auto-response to The Intercept’s request for comment ahead of publication. The article was previously updated to note that Twitter restored UAW’s Twitter verification after publication.

        Twitter offered only an auto-response to The Intercept’s request for comment ahead of publication.

        By this, they mean that any media questions to Twitter get auto-responded to with the poop emoji. Because Musk is a child.

          Elon is a big bag of dicks, but it looks like Twitter is no longer replying with poop emojis. From the linked article:

          To a request for comment, X only sent Ars an auto-response, saying, “Busy now, please check back later.”

        Jesus, you people really are obsessed with trans people’s genitals.

        Not even on topic and you still manage to chat about them. That’s not normal.
