I think the title explains it all… Even right wing influencers can have their faces eaten. And Twitter views are literally their livelihood.
Trump’s conspiracy-minded ally Laura Loomer, New York Young Republican Club president Gavin Wax and InfoWars host Owen Shroyer all said their verification badges disappeared after they criticized Musk’s support for H1B visas, railed against Indian culture and attacked Ramaswamy, Musk’s DOGE co-chair.
Like we needed conseratives losing a meaningless digital badge and throwing a fit about it to convince us they’re all children trapped in adult bodies.
It’s like the Fuhrer ripped their swastika badges off and now they’re all upset and feeling betrayed.
The issue is it works.
Musk basically killed a US budget bill with Tweets. Imagine typing that out as fact a decade ago.
And that badge brings engagement, which is literally how they make a living.
