X revokes paid blue check from United Auto Workers after strike called

So much for free speech

I wonder why the guy who bought Tesla might not want the UAW represented on the platform he bought? I can't think of why that might be

Ah, the "free speech absolutist" doing completely free speech stuff.

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!

Somewhere an Elon fanboy is explaining why this is peak free speech

It's time to put some of these billionaires in their place. Nationalize his shit, seize his assets, and revoke his passport and citizenship. Fuck Musk, sick of his childish attention seeking bullshit.

If you are still on X, then you deserve the world you are struggling in.

Hey the auto workers are striking now... can we just like... do a general strike already?

This dude is such a pussy. I wish he wasn’t terrified to fight Zuckerberg so we could all watch him get his ass kicked.

It’s infuriating that people are beholden to this fucking loser.

Elon hates that auto workers have gone on strike? I'm shocked...

This whole incident probably took place from automation. As others have stated they changed the profile photo and the system needs verification. The software probably has a hash value for the photo and when they changed the photo the hash value changed triggering the chain of events. You guys are really hung up on hating him but he probably had nothing to do with it other than the initial design verification.

Capitalist does captitalist things.

Is elon turning into alex jones? That picture is not flattering

The real story here is that a union was willingly giving money to Elon Musk

I'm excited for his alcoholism to catch up.

Xitter ! love it, now lexicon

Usage: Can’t wait to watch Xitter (pronounced Zit - ter) pop after Musk wrecks the train.

SCABS.

"To a request for comment, X only sent Ars an auto-response, saying, "Busy now, please check back later." (To be fair, in this case "check back later" is a good summary of what happened.)" 😂

Couldn't this be breach of contract for services not rendered?

Elon heard something called Unify or Utigy was taking all the bad press and he had to fix that.

Why should anyone care? I thought the blue mark doesn't have meaning anymore?

Petty as fuck.

Lonnie is an enemy of workers.

That'll really show them.

Who fucking cares. Stop talking about musk and he will likely go away
