Some pundits weary of Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter are warning that the platform may be compromised as the midterm elections begin.
Syndicated radio personalities Jamie Markley, David van camp, and Scott Robbins discussed Monday what they see as a dramatic shift in how the mainstream media is talking about Twitter considering Musk’s decision to charge for blue check verification which has been delayed until the elections are over.
“Remember when you used to be able to trust Twitter?” van Camp quipped.
The trio reacted to NBC News reporter Ben Collins’ criticism of Twitter which includes him saying that Musk is overly concerned with charging for the blue badge after laying off half of his staff.
“Using Twitter as a trustworthy source for news on Tuesday is going to be a nightmare,” Collins stated. “That’s what some people who just got laid off and some people who are there are warned about.”
“Wait a minute, did he watch the video of the person going through a day’s work at Twitter?” Jamie Markley asked. “I think they can survive.”
“Elon Musk took over Twitter and liberals are melting down,” Robbins added. “One of his sticking points is that Elon wants to charge $8 a month for the little blue check verification badge on Twitter accounts.”
