I know the amount of attention Musk consumes here and in general is at obnoxious levels, but paying for the blue accounts for celebrities that complained about the pay-for-blue set up is just funny.
LeBron was contacted by Twitter if he wants a free complimentary check paid for by Elon Musk. LeBron's team said "NO". And his status was misrepresented, anyway.
The purpose of this misrepresentation is so LeBron's followers believe LeBron is supporting Elon Musk and encouraging people to subscribe as well. Which he didn't.
This is a serious breach of trust between a social network and its users. The network is basically lying so it can profit from its celebrities by FORCING them to endorse a service they explicitly don't want to endorse.
LeBron James alone has almost FIFTY THREE MILLION FOLLOWERS on his account. This is more than any newspaper, any TV channel's audience right now. Are mass media also a joke? Should laws no longer apply to them then?
Many of these FIFTY THREE MILLION FOLLOWERS will be swayed by the false endorsement to pay a $100+ dollar annual subscription to Musk. Based on this fraud.
But it doesn't matter that we're talking about potentially billions in revenue obtained illegally, never mind because Twitter is just for shits and giggles, nothing is serious on it. Let's just ignore it because if it has stupid memes on it, it can't possibly matter.
Just it's funny and the lawsuit would be funny, and I don't really believe there's a meaningful number of people subscribing for twitter blue because these celebrities "did." Certainly not enough to react as you are and believe this is massive fraud.
Then wait for the lawyers to send you a terse email promising to basically end you.
