Elon Musk said he would fix Twitter’s problem with impostors. The blue check mark on my fake U.S. senator suggests he still has a long way to go.On Tuesday, @SenatorEdMarkey briefly went viral on Twitter. Gisele Barreto Fetterman, the wife of Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), thanked @SenatorEdMarkey in a tweet that garnered 140,000 views.The problem is, @SenatorEdMarkey is actually me, not the real Sen. Edward J. Markey. It’s a test of Twitter’s $7.99 per month Blue “verification” service I made with the permission of the real Democrat from Massachusetts. I wouldn’t blame anyone for being confused: My test account has the senator’s name and photo and a blue check mark that says it is “verified.”But Twitter, it seems, isn’t verifying much of anything.This is the second time I’ve been able to impersonate the senator. Back in November, when Twitter first began selling its iconic blue check marks to anyone for a fee, I showed how easy it was to buy official-looking status with an impostor account called @realEdMarkey. Musk, who bought Twitter in October, got into a Twitter fight with Markey about it. Then Musk shut down Blue and promised that in a new-and-improved version “all verified accounts will be

The Best Little Unicorn in Texas: Jasper Was Winning the AI Race—Then ChatGPT Blew Up the Whole GameRead Now By and  |  Jan. 4, 2023 12:41 PM PST Photo: Art by Getty Images/Shane Burke. Elon Musk has won plaudits in some quarters of Silicon Valley for slashing Twitter’s headcount and ending its remote-work policy. Now Musk’s latest target for cost cutting is drawing fresh attention from cost-conscious CEOs at companies across the globe. Since taking over Twitter just over two months ago, Musk has slashed Twitter’s spending on servers that power the app, laid off engineers and ordered cuts to spending on public cloud services. Most recently, he ordered the disconnection of Twitter’s Sacramento, Calif., data center, one of three it operated that housed vital racks of servers, on Christmas Eve. Twitter is now becoming a real-time experiment in just how much server capacity a company can get away with cutting.

By late afternoon Wednesday, the second day of balloting for House speaker, Republican leader Kevin McCarthy had failed six times to scrounge enough votes from members of his own party to land the job.While the House speakership remained in limbo, Twitter was far from idle. An onslaught of tweets took aim at McCarthy, some mocking him for moving into the speaker’s office prematurely, others using the clown emoji and the hashtag #KevinMcCarthyIsAClown.The drama continued to unfold — and trend on social media — as soon as Day 2 began.Twitter wasn’t shy to acknowledge that McCarthy not only failed to win the initial vote on Tuesday — marking the first time in 100 years the speakership has required multiple ballots — but that the House had, by Wednesday evening, voted six times and counting. Memes circulated of endless tally marks, and of individuals, as well as classic cartoon characters, facing repeated defeats, likening McCarthy’s persistence to “the definition of insanity.”Meanwhile, McCarthy has said he would continue to pursue the position until he’s successful. Social media had fun with that as well.An “Ode to McCarthy” video also circulated, complete with a sappy slideshow and remix of “All By Myself” by Eric Carmen.

A new release of internal Twitter correspondence details the relationship between the social media company and government agencies, including how the U.S. government "demanded" that the social media giant suspend nearly 250,000 accounts.  "US govt agency demanded suspension of 250K accounts, including journalists and Canadian officials!" Elon Musk replied to journalist Matt Taibbi's Twitter thread on Tuesday evening.  Taibbi revealed the U.S government's mounting and endless pressure on Twitter to work hand-in-hand with Congress to hunt for Russian meddling on the platform.Twitter's subsequent task force to hunt Russian influence on the platform showed "no coordinated" effort and mostly "lone-wolf" accounts with low ad spends.

Skip Bayless. (Michael Loccisano/Getty Images for IAVA) As the NFL world came together to pray for Damar Hamlin, Skip Bayless shot off a heartless tweet that had people calling for him to be fired.Monday Night Football ended under terrifying circumstances with the game between the Bills and Bengals suspended after Damar Hamlin had to be removed from the field via an ambulance and taken to the hospital.Hamlin collapsed after making a tackle. He needed CPR on the field while players and coaches from both teams looked visibly shaken.Fans, media and the sports world largely responded on Twitter by expressing concern and sending well-wishes to Hamlin and his family.As for Skip Bayless, he made a fool of himself with the most soulless tweet of the century.“No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game – but how? This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome … which suddenly seems so irrelevant.”No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game – but how?

Elon Musk, on Sunday, teased that this week’s Twitter Files report would focus on the now former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Anthony Fauci, in what could be known as the Fauci Files. Musk turned to Twitter to tell users, "Hope you’re having a great day 1 2023! One thing’s for sure, it won’t be boring." Elon Musk said the FBI overreached its authority with respect to online censorship, the Twitter boos said Friday.  (Muhammed Selim Korkutata / Anadolu Agency / Getty Images) One Twitter user replied to Musk’s tweet, saying she was,"Waiting… … for #FauciFiles,"ELON MUSK MOCKS FAUCI AS ‘CREEPY’ AFTER NEW YORK TIMES REPORT "Later this week," Musk replied.In what is now called the "Twitter Files," journalists tapped by Musk address various controversies including internal discussions at Twitter regarding the censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story during the 2022 presidential election and the social media company's decision to ban former President Trump from tweeting after his role in the Capitol invasion on Jan. 6, 2021.The most recent Twitter File release focused on how both the Trump and Biden administrations leaned on Twitter to moderate content during the COVID-19 pandemic.TWITTER FILES PART 10:
