More Lefty Meltdowns in 'Blue Check War' as Elon Owns Them Bad

When we last left you in the Great Blue Check War, Twitter head Elon Musk had just delivered a hilarious blow to all the whiny liberals who were complaining about his removal of the legacy blue checks to which they felt they were entitled. They didn’t want to have to pay eight dollars for a Twitter Blue subscription and be like everyone else. They felt that they were entitled to the service for free.

So to get back at Elon Musk, they promoted “Block the Blue” — thinking that if they blocked the Twitter Blue people that would ultimately hurt Musk. That’s when Musk pulled a genius move. He gave some of the people promoting the blocking of the blue checks their blue checks back and then laughed at them.

Now suddenly blue checks were “bad.” Multiple accounts that had over a million followers were whining that they’d gotten the check back yet hadn’t paid, and now, they were upset that they’d gotten it back including people like Rick Wilson, Paul Krugman, and Chrissy Teigen. “Wait I’m crying they’re giving them for punishment now,” Chrissy Teigen tweeted.

So then they were doing all they could to get rid of the checks, sharing techniques about how you could accomplish that. Notice, Teigen no longer has one.

Then came more virtue-signaling meltdowns as liberals insisted they had not paid for the check, didn’t know why it was there, and were trying to get rid of it. It was a master troll.

Actor Ron Perlman whined he hadn’t paid.

Just for the record, I have not subscribed to Twitter, blue, nor will I ever. Dear Elon: Creepy people do creepy things. Best regards, Ron. pic.twitter.com/V3SHMFUy4W

Yet he had said he was going to leave in October because of Musk. Here he is, still tweeting.

Anti-gun activist David Hogg protested that he hadn’t “caved,” and had managed to remove the “cringe” mark. He complained he had to come on Twitter and deal with such a calamity during exams. But in its place, he had an orange square.

It says I paid for my checkmark.
I did NOT pay for my checkmark.
That would be so cringe.

Finally- I changed my name to make the cringe mark disappear.

Is he now endorsing President Donald Trump?

MSNBC’s Joy Reid claimed that she didn’t even tweet anymore but returned just to tweet that, although others noted that she had been posting even before all this came up.

So week my #BlueCheckMark was removed, since I did not, and would never, under any circumstances, pay apartheid guy for his Twitter blue service. Yet this morning, the checkmark is back and the hover-over claims I've subscribed. BS. I don't even tweet anymore yet here we are. pic.twitter.com/cd52B6r5XF

That was pretty funny. So they came back and are still tweeting, not seeming to get that in doing so, they show what hypocrites they are — they just can’t quit Elon, and when they’re tweeting they’re driving up engagement and helping put money in his pocket from people laughing at them. It’s a win-win for Musk and they’re just clueless.

Some tried to figure out if they could take legal action against Musk.

But one of the funniest tantrums was from MSNBC’s Medhi Hasan. This is like the little child crying and stamping his feet on the floor insisting “I’m not owned” as he and his buddies continue to be completely owned by Musk. He too did all he could to get rid of the “cringe” mark, not getting how ridiculous that made him look.

I love the folks replying to this and quote tweeting this claiming ‘Elon took my blue check’. Erm, he gave it to me yesterday – while lying about me paying for verification – and, like many others, I promptly found a way to get rid of it. pic.twitter.com/F6anI1coeS

Musk is living rent-free in his head.

Believe me, Medhi, we’re getting great fun watching you characters run around like chickens with your heads cut off as Elon makes you dance.
