Outrage over Elon Musk's new Twitter verification strategy is hilarious
 [NYP] Can you hear the loud whine emanating from the coasts?That chorus of dweebs comprises elite newspaper reporters, columnists and so-called influencers who have just heard the news that Elon Musk, the uber-rich new owner and CEO of Twitter, might begin charging $19.99 a month to retain "verification" on his dumb social media platform. Their moans are music to my ears! According to a positively symphonic report from the Verge, Musk is gung-ho on shaking up the entire screwed-up system. "The whole verification process is being revamped right now," he tweeted. Play on, Elon! Play on! What Maestro Musk is hinting at, the report said, is that those stupid blue checkmarks might soon cost a staggering $240 a year, and that they will be available to more folks than just CNN writers, celebrities, YouTube stars and Pete Buttigieg’s husband.
