Sunday officially marks one month since the world's richest man took the helm at Twitter.

Sunday officially marks one month since the world’s richest man took the helm at Twitter. In that time, Elon Musk initiated mass layoffs and gave remaining staffers a cryptic ultimatum, reinstated the accounts of controversial figures including former President Donald Trump, and launched – then punted – a plan to charge for Twitter’s iconic blue checkmarks.

” An ongoing saga over blue check marks kicks off Another aspect of Twitter that Musk quickly upended is one of the platform’s most familiar features for its users: the verified blue check marks that had long been used to confirm the authenticity of government officials, journalists, and other public figures. “Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bullsh*t,” Musk tweeted on Nov. 1. “Power to the people! Blue for $8/month.

It’s so HARD ON for MSM and SM to quit Elon Musk!

isn't that great?

It is so much better now.

The real question is will CNN be around to report on twitter next year?

Kicking ass and taking names

Just imagine improvement bought in just 30 days ? Sky is the limit

CNN has an estimated net worth of about $43.91 million. It’s funny cnn like poke about tweeter financial status

is a burning funeral pyre but attempts to poke fun at Musk running Twitter. So sad and desperate. Won't be long before Musk buys CNN too and fires 75% of the worthless staff.

Advertisers might have pulled ads out of worrying the liberals would boycott and harass them until they caved. Good thing Twitter is better then it ever has been in every way and will continue to grow and they will be begging to come back.

You’re the propaganda team for American communism.

It's called kicking ass and getting your house in order. Maybe you need a similar shakeup at your worthless sorry excuse for a news network.

CNN has gone to Hell.

😂

Actually your article should start with how much better twitter is now. Sorry for your loss.

CNN the Communist Network News has some more Propaganda to spread. How could they possibly be wrong. Oh it might have something to do with incredibly low ratings.

Twitter has been awesome since he left. Idk what you people talking about I been on this app 1 month and saw nothing crazy being posted. Shit I seen worst stuff on instagram and fb

And your still here.

And the World hasn’t ended

You journos are relentless!

Yeah. Y’all should protest. Disable your account. That’ll show em

Your becoming obsessed *

…and it doesn’t feel any different TBH. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I thought the Experts said Twitter would go down without all those useless employees drinking margaritas at work and only working 4 hours a month. 🤣

The man is getting so much done in such a short period of time. Bravo

He’s doing it his way….sorry if this triggers some people 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Here’s a better headline:

He has the best space program the best car production and now the best social media . What next

And it works better than ever!

We know, it’s running much better and he cut the leftist propaganda by at least 40%.👍🏻

Maybe elonmusk will buy cnn next and lay-off the staff that produces this dribble .

And much to your amazement, its still here

And it's been glorious to behold!

It is so awesome

Burned through 50% of advertising. It’ll just be the my pillow idiot and black rifle coffee soon enough.

Musk has had one month. CNN has had dozens of years to get their shit together and still hasn't.

The Islamic Republic of Iran sends its own authorities as normal citizens to Qatar to declare that Iran's conditions are normal They are deceitful We are unarmed people, we are being killed while they try to normalize Situations with government celebrations MahsaAmini

~ hadn’t noticed… 🥴

How’s that takeover going, CNN?

And Twitter didn't crash, fakenews peddlers.

Yeah. How's that CNN+ going?

It’s been a glorious triumph for free speech & the 1st amendment. Congress failed. Thank you elonmusk

It’s been great

But Twitter was supposed to be dead. And it was supposed to not support all opinions. Guess you all lied again...

It's been fun for us onlookers 😊

So soon..I didn't even notice

In that time, I have block several hundred advertisers… great fun!!

NeverForget

Protip: Vladimir Putin is the worlds richest man. Look it up. Be better

CNN is going down for the count ratings-wise unless it stops both-sidesing the GOP’s fascism.

Crazy how we're all still alive eh?

Just as Hitler abused football politically and called the German national team the Reich's team, the Islamic Republic also uses football to normalize the country's conditions. The fact is that we are under the worst mental, psychological and physical torture. Help us mahsaamini

He didn’t layoff more than sleepy joe!!

There is nothing more dangerous than an idiot who thinks he’s a genius.

The last time I looked, this was still (mostly) a free country. It’s his company. If you don’t like it don’t buy it. Seems simple to me. And I’m a professional simpleton.

Please don’t be influenced by the new games of the Islamic republic .Islamic republic does everything for deny his crimes against the Iranian nation .they kill our children by war weapons .our arrested women and girls are raped in the detention centers of the Islamic republic.

Did you send him a Congratulations and thank him for giving you a platform to broadcast your station?

¡¡¡soɐɥɔ ʅɐʇoʇ ʻɹǝʇʇᴉʍꓕ pǝuᴉnɹ ʞsnꟽ

The Islamic Republic is trying to make us look liars in the world by injecting fake news. They give death sentence and then say that there is no execution But the reality is something else, they want us to loose your support SO THAT CAN KILL US IN SILENCE MahsaAmini

Says a failed network.

So far so good.

The Islamic Republic and its authorities are trying to normalize the situations in iran They have used football and have this opportunity to show the world the normal conditions in the country While we are under the barrage of their bullets MahsaAmini

It’s been awesome.

the corpses of our arrested students are handed over to us after weeks .they use war weapons to confront the protesting people in the streets while people only use stones to defend themselves. Please listen to the voice of Iranian people. مهسا_امینی

Needs to buy you next, right after he invents his phone.

Thank god he’s letting everyone be heard

Twitter is crap now. He’s made it such a shitty app. The beta male doing beta things. Such a loser elonmusk

thank you for noticing CNN=FAIL. i'm sure elonmusk appreciates your support. is he your 'new' Trump to boost your ratings? try news it might help

And it is so much better! Thanks Elon. Go buy Instagram now.

If everyone has 5 accounts, how REAL is Twitter? Republicans Right-wing extremists flood Twitter and the OTHERS will disappear. No one wants hatred.

Feels like months already.

and not much difference a bunch of huffing & puffing by him & other folk some advertisers pulled back -- probably leveraging for better rates & more access seems like BUSINESS as usual to me

And Twitter became tumblr
