Yes, it was one of the more contreversial changes he did. Before, you had to be "vetted" by xitter staff as being both notable and who you said you were. That wasn't a great system, and was effectively a nepotism/who you knew game, but you wouldn't see blue checkmarks for fake accounts.
It used to be a sign of trustworthiness.
Now anyone can get one for a monthly fee.
what I find shocking is that the website still exists and has so many users; I even know a user IRL who hasn't noticed it has gotten any worse since Elon took over ...
If someone using xitter hasn't noticed it got worse, it's probably because they don't think the Nazis are a bad thing.
Nah, it's probably because not everyone cares about the political stuff so if for example you only follow cosplayers or whatever, you never get to see the nazis. At worst you might notice more creeps leaving weird comments but I dunno, I don't actually use it. Maybe I'm way off.
he has been accidentally sending me fascist propaganda without realizing it's fascist, like that Italian sculptor's video that was making the rounds, the guys who made that controversial Joan d'Arc statue with government funds?
Oh, then yeah.. guy sounds clueless. Also what video? Trying to find it but nothing that matches your description.
here is the exact video: https://x.com/AtelierMissor_/status/1925680032115998915
Atelier Missor are the group of French sculptors
here's an article about the controversy around their Joan d'Arc statue:

Oh, I was aware of this, just didn't know it had made international news. Statue was decided to stay despite the whole thing. And yeah, the sculptors are macho cunts in the vein of Andrew Tate but I wouldn't have classed them as fascist propagandists. But the shoe fits, tbh, you're right.
Now, it just marks you as somebody stupid enough to give Elon money for no reason.
yeah, but blue check mark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crazy..so the responder is NOT wrong lol
