"Excited to announce that I've hired a new CEO for X/Twitter She will be starting in ~6 weeks!" Musk wrote earlier this afternoon And though we don't have a name, it would appear mid to end of June would be their start window As for Musk? "My role will transition to being exec chair &[...]

UPDATE: Before we share a look back at our editorial from earlier today, we have a very important follow-up involving Tucker Carlson, FOX "News," and Carlson's new show on Twitter "Starting soon, we'll be bringing a new version of the show we've been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter," Carlson[...]
If you tuned into Friday night's episode of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher not expecting Bill Maher and Twitter overlord Elon Musk to spend nearly 20 minutes jerking off each other's egos, the… PLEASE TELL ME WHERE YOU LIVE SO I CAN LIVE THERE, TOO? PLEASE? I WON'T TELL ANYONE! Because clearly, you're living[...]
If you've been following our coverage of the back-and-forth going on between Elon Musk and noted bestselling author Stephen King over Musk's handling of Twitter – specifically, the blue checkmark/verification process that now requires payment – then you know that King's no fan And that's resulted in a series of tweet exchanges that's left the[...]
After Twitter users noticed that the account @DisneyJuniorUK was gracing a gold checkmark (reserved for official & verified businesses who pay $1000/month for the "honor"), the word went out across social media that the fake account being granted that "distinction" was another example of how Musk has lost control over the ability to stop fake[...]
Sometimes, the jokes come too easily – as is the case of the latest chapter in "The Great Twitter Blue Checkmark War" between Musk and acclaimed author Stephen King Earlier, King tweeted about the news that Musk had "paid" to have a whole bunch of blue checkmarks reinstated – including King's- writing, "I think Mr[...]
Who knows at this point, right? But what we do know is that apparently, things on the Twitter front were a little too drama-free to Elon Musk's liking, so he decided to pull the blue checkmarks from everyone who didn't pay for them after months of threatening to do so And then… jackshit happened[...]
As we're sure you've heard by now, Elon Musk pulled blue checkmarks from everyone on Twitter this week – and guess what? The planet is still spinning, my pizza from 4 Bros Pizza is as delicious as ever, and my pup still can't stand other dogs (but loves people) In the process of Musk doing[...]
Earlier, King's Twitter account showed that he paid for a checkmark and gave a phone number – two things that King made a point of denying – and then driving the point home:
My Twitter account says I've subscribed to Twitter Blue I haven't.
My Twitter account says I've given a phone number I haven't.
— Stephen King[...]
And seconds after we saw the news come across Twitter (ironic, right?), we knew someone was going to pay – in this case, a lot of "someones." Two people, in particular, who have no interest in handing over even a dime to Musk are famed bestselling authors & pop culture icons, Stephen King and Neil[...]
That's right, Musk actually found a way to screw up Twitter so badly that the screw-up actually broke through to a multiversal dimension where Amazon & Showrunner Eric Kripke's The Boys is a reality And if there's one thing that Vought International doesn't need right now are more "conspiracy theories" regarding Black Noir and how[...]
Maybe it's because 20-second Google searches are "too woke"? Maybe he's still in his "sobbing on the couch over a pint of Ben & Jerry's" stage after his reported "Twitter Files" breakup with Matt Taibbi? Whatever the reason, Elon Musk proved that his inability to understand how major media works is not restrained by international[...]
Twitter hackers are common nowadays, especially with higher-profile celebrity accounts One popular target as of late is Star Trek actors, with the recent one in Picard star Brent Spiner, who plays Data reprising his role from The Next Generation Despite the beloved android dying twice, the new hybrid built by Dr Alton Song, also played[...]
William Shatner offered his latest rebuttal to CEO Elon Musk's reasoning for his latest Twitter decisions The Star Trek icon originally wrote, "Hey [Elon Musk], what's this about blue checks going away unless we pay Twitter? I've been here for 15 years, giving my & witty thoughts all for bupkis Now you're telling me that[...]
But that doesn't mean he doesn't have a minute to take to Twitter to let everyone know that he's not paying for anything having to do with social media That means that on Saturday, April 1st (when Elon Musk's "only people who pay get blue checks" plan oozes into existence) "Hey, y'all , I'll lose[...]
CEO Elon Musk answered Star Trek icon William Shatner about his grievance about his updated Twitter verification policy The Enterprise captain initially wrote, "Hey [Elon Musk], what's this about blue checks going away unless we pay Twitter?

On the latest episode of "Sh*t William Shatner Says," the 92-year-old Canadian actor and Star Trek icon has new beef with Twitter's new blue check mark policy as most of his current relevance comes from his current activity on social media aiming his latest barb at its current CEO "Hey [Elon Musk] what's this about[...]
It's just that we were never expecting her calling then-President Donald Trump a "p***y a** b***h via Twitter back in 2019 as being something that would make the Congressional record But that's how things went today as the Republican-controlled House of Representatives Oversight Committee held a hearing to "investigate" claims that Twitter users were blocked[...]

Why? From a dollars-and-cents standpoint, just look at what his post-DCU announcements tweets have done[...]
I mean, just look at that DC Studios slate that was dropped on Tuesday… right? But like most spoiled, unruly children, proud Twitter owner Elon Musk hasn't found a piece of metaphorical poop yet that he's not ready to throw to get everyone's attention And because of the sweet, beautiful irony of it, it was[...]
That brings us to Elon Musk, Twitter owner and defender of "free speech" (well…) & humor (unless it's a parody account that hits too close to home) But this time around, we're keeping things simple Why does Musk have a personal gripe against Comedy Central's The Daily Show to the point where he's pulling down[...]
He's gone from "Savior" (when he bought Twitter for an obscene amount of money under the guise of being able to make it better) to "Chaos Kid" (when he thought it was amusing to f**k around with a social media service that's depended upon by millions every day for very real reasons) to "First Amendment[...]
So with that now on the table, it's "ten years" since Elon Musk began turning Twitter into a social media sandbox more suitable for a man-child with an inferiority complex He's tried every possible variation (and color) you can think of to revamp the "blue check" process, only to find new ways to make it[...]
Comic book creator and cover artist Mark Brooks best known for his work on the X-Men comic books right now, has had his Twitter account @MarkBrooksArt hacked Since yesterday, it has been used by someone saying "Hello twitter family !

After a long, uncomfortable stretch that just wasn't working (including a report of rich people on stage yelling, "I'm rich, bitch!" in what might be the saddest & most ironic moment from the night if true), Chappelle pulled the ripcord and parachuted away from what appeared to be a very bad idea.
Musk's much-deserved reception came[...]

As Elon Musk counts down the days until he turns Twitter into a bigger cesspool than he already when he allowing impeached reality show host Donald Trump and walking disaster Kanye West back on, legendary author Stephen King is once again calling out "The Musk-eteer" for his handling of Twitter Except for this time, King's[...]

Yesterday, we learned that the man-child who brought you the return of disgraced impeached reality show host Donald Trump and failed Adidas businessman Kanye West to Twitter wasn't quite done trying to get attention Because he chose Thanksgiving as the day to shit on everyone's Corn Flakes by announcing a general amnesty for suspended accounts[...]
