Elon Musk: Officially a fraud and piece of shit. Official or unofficial war criminal?

I don't know the answer to your question, but I've been pondering over this for some time now. At somewhere around $650 million, Dolly Parton is nowhere near as wealthy as Musk but she has invested money and time into literacy and other projects in her hometown and beyond and the region is the better for it. Philanthropy such as that--personal and relatable--makes one feel very very good so why Elon doesn't pursue that drug baffles me.

On the other hand, were I in possession of that much money, I'd be enrolled in classes part time for fun and interest and traveling the world with loved ones the rest of it. One life to live so get out and do it.

i genuinely can't believe he has this much money and is such a bad public speaker. if i had that much money i would be spending a ton of it on getting better at public speaking at every. single. opportunity.

hey he gave $5.7 billion to a charity. it just happened to be his charity and he got a huge tax write off on it. i assume the reason he doesn't give it away is because he can't be in control of it? imagine how much better he would be viewed by basically everyone if he was giving money away at the level of the Gates Foundation. he can literally pick *ANY* concept in the world he wants to improve and immediately impact it. but does he? nope.

Yes, when I think of individuals who's charitable donations, works and services are universally lauded, I think of Bill Gates. That man isn't at all attacked by about 30% of the US population, and his charitable works dismissed as global conspiracies' aimed at globalism, population control, and mind control implants masquerading as vaccines. 

Then again, Elon's biggest fans are the crazies, so maybe he would receive universal praise.

Had that happen on a couple of twitter accounts that literally have not had new posts in a few years - basically have a pinned post with information pointing to websites - I didn't want somebody taking twitter handles that matched some websites I manage.  I login every few weeks or once a month to check for DMs or mentions, and they were locked. I clicked on a button/link and they were suddenly unlocked.  Weirdest fucking thing.

Made me think they were going to lock accounts that had little to no activity and if nobody logged in within a certain amount of time, they would free them up (something Musk promised a few months ago).

The real Markey, who has long been a critic of Big Tech, told me Twitter had failed a basic test. “It’s an absolute joke that Elon Musk, who prides himself on being a tech entrepreneur, can’t implement a functioning verification regime — except users aren’t laughing,” Markey said.

“Twitter’s current leadership has failed to safeguard the platform from misinformation, failed to provide answers to my simple questions regarding their anti-fraud protocols, and failed to demonstrate an appreciation for the role that their platform plays in our democracy,” he said.

Twitter said it fixed ‘verification.’ So I impersonated a senator (again).

Text:

 

Spoiler

Elon Musk said he would fix Twitter’s problem with impostors. The blue check mark on my fake U.S. senator suggests he still has a long way to go.

On Tuesday, @SenatorEdMarkey briefly went viral on Twitter. Gisele Barreto Fetterman, the wife of Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), thanked @SenatorEdMarkey in a tweet that garnered 140,000 views.

 

 

Tech is not your friend. We are. Sign up for The Tech Friend newsletter.

 

The problem is, @SenatorEdMarkey is actually me, not the real Sen. Edward J. Markey. It’s a test of Twitter’s $7.99 per month Blue “verification” service I made with the permission of the real Democrat from Massachusetts. I wouldn’t blame anyone for being confused: My test account has the senator’s name and photo and a blue check mark that says it is “verified.”

 

But Twitter, it seems, isn’t verifying much of anything.

This is the second time I’ve been able to impersonate the senator. Back in November, when Twitter first began selling its iconic blue check marks to anyone for a fee, I showed how easy it was to buy official-looking status with an impostor account called @realEdMarkey. Musk, who bought Twitter in October, got into a Twitter fight with Markey about it. Then Musk shut down Blue and promised that in a new-and-improved version “all verified accounts will be manually authenticated” before they’re given the authority of a check mark.

Sorry for the delay, we’re tentatively launching Verified on Friday next week. Gold check for companies, grey check for government, blue for individuals (celebrity or not) and all verified accounts will be manually authenticated before check activates. Painful, but necessary.

Last week, up popped a blue check mark on my @SenatorEdMarkey account. Oops! I did it again.

 

 

Twitter didn’t reply to a request for comment.

Two months into Musk’s takeover, millions of Twitter users face a real question: Is Twitter getting better or worse? Is it even worth putting our time into Twitter anymore, or should we abandon ship for something else, be it Mastodon, Instagram or TikTok?

Twitter has yet to devolve back into the impersonation circus we saw when Blue first launched. But my test shows Twitter does not understand the dangers of misinformation or the value of authenticated sources. Under Musk’s leadership, Twitter users face a greater risk of seeing something fake and thinking it is real. I don’t know if Twitter is going to die any time soon, but I’m spending less time on a service I can’t trust.

 

How I bypassed verification again

Creating my impostor senator the first time around was dead simple. All I needed was a new Twitter account running on an iPhone and a credit card to pay for Blue.

 

 

For Blue 2.0, Twitter added two additional hurdles that could help slow people and bots from making fakes. To test it, I needed a Twitter account that was at least 90 days old — new accounts are not eligible. A colleague had one he hadn’t used in years, so he dedicated it to the cause. After we changed the name of the account to @SenatorEdMarkey, Twitter made us wait 7 days before we could sign up for Blue.

Second, I also had to link the account to a phone number before I could sign up for Blue. To do that, I visited the T-Mobile store at the mall, and got a 1-month temporary number for $15 — no name or ID required.

Once I had all of those pieces in place, I signed up for Twitter Blue on the web, paying with a credit card. At that point, I expected Twitter would ask me to prove my identity, such as uploading a snapshot of a drivers’ license. I thought Twitter might be suspicious that the account was owned by a random Gmail address, not one ending in senate.gov. I assumed its verification system might challenge me after scanning for the word “senator” or maybe even the names of the notable people with legacy verification status.

But no. After 7 days, a blue check mark appeared on the faux Markey account, no questions asked.

On the left, Ed Markey's real Twitter account. On the right, the Twitter account Geoff created impersonating Markey. (The Washington Post illustration; Twitter)

As far as I can tell, Twitter has never said what goes into “manually authenticating” an account. Since Musk bought Twitter, the company also now has a greatly reduced workforce — so it’s not clear who’d be around to do the checking.

 

 

Twitter says impersonating others is not allowed, and accounts that do so face suspension when they’re discovered. But in 2023, it’s not enough to just make a rule. Twitter has to do something to actively stop it from happening — and its Blue adaptations clearly aren’t enough. Across the internet, authentication is becoming increasingly common. Airbnb asks you snap a photo of your ID to rent a room; Facebook asks for an ID to gain access to hacked accounts.

Musk often tries to frame criticisms as culture wars — but evaluating how well a product’s core functions work isn’t a partisan act. It’s a tech review, and I do it with the same critical eye to new Apple iPhones, Amazon shopping results and Twitter check marks. I take the side of users, and last week published a column agreeing with Musk about the need to stop a form of online censorship called “shadowbanning.”

 

Why trust matters

Musk appears to have several goals in selling Blue subscriptions. First, he needs a new source of revenue after taking on billions in debt to buy Twitter. Second, he wants a mechanism to separate real users from bots, whose creators are less likely to pay for a subscription. Finally, he has said that offering verified status to more users will level the playing field, encouraging more people with wider views to be active on Twitter.

 

 

It’s possible that people who buy blue check marks will tweet more. But without actually doing the hard work to authenticate them, Twitter is eroding one thing that helped make it into a cultural juggernaut: You could trust it. Its legacy verification system — in which the company really did check who owned an account — was opaque, but it meant when an elected official, company or celebrity tweeted, you’d believe it was them.

The real Markey, who has long been a critic of Big Tech, told me Twitter had failed a basic test. “It’s an absolute joke that Elon Musk, who prides himself on being a tech entrepreneur, can’t implement a functioning verification regime — except users aren’t laughing,” Markey said.

“Twitter’s current leadership has failed to safeguard the platform from misinformation, failed to provide answers to my simple questions regarding their anti-fraud protocols, and failed to demonstrate an appreciation for the role that their platform plays in our democracy,” he said.

 

 

In a partial return to Twitter’s old system, Twitter has said it plans to offer different-colored verification marks for officials and corporations separate from its Blue services. That isn’t going to help independent creators, but Twitter did give The Washington Post’s account a gold check mark for businesses, and President Biden’s account a gray one.

And so far, Twitter has not given any special marks to the accounts belonging to U.S. senators such as Markey.

As of press time, Markey’s real account still has a blue check mark that says, “This is a legacy verified account. It may or may not be notable.” My fake one, meanwhile, says “This account is verified because it’s subscribed to Twitter Blue.”

There is a difference and it matters to Twitter’s users — and its future.

 

 

 

[Chopper 17230]

Welp...more good news for Elron! Lost the most money ever from his personal accounts, as CEO his business' stock price tanked the most ever of any publicly traded company, and now perhaps the CEO whose business suffered the largest hack of all time. All records set within the past 30 days. 

 

Already under elevated regulatory scrutiny since its purchase by Elon Musk, Twitter could be facing even more government oversight after the records of 235 million accounts and the emails connected to them have surfaced on an online forum.

The leak sets “the stage for anonymous handles to be linked to real-world identities,” my colleague Joseph Menn reports.

Quote

 

While the Federal Trade Commission declined to comment, it was already conducting an inquiry into whether Twitter had violated a deal promising to better protect user data. Recently, the FTC asked Twitter whether it still had the resources to comply with that consent decree after Musk’s dramatic personnel cuts.

Twitter has been facing more regulatory scrutiny on the international front, too, a situation set to intensify after the latest revelations.

What happened

The hacker who claimed credit for obtaining the data set advertised it for sale online on Dec. 23. The hacker said it contained 400 million records. Alon Gal, a co-founder of the Israeli security company Hudson Rock who spotted the posting, later put the number of affected users at 235 million.

“This database is going to be used by hackers, political hacktivists and of course governments to harm our privacy even further,” Gal said.

Wrote Joseph: “Those users at the least risk provided throwaway email addresses or ones not tied to them elsewhere. But even they could be subject to account takeover attempts, phishing or emailed threats.” Twitter didn’t respond to a request for comment about advice to its users.

The person who advertised the data claims that they were able to get the records in 2021 by using data-scraping methods via a since-patched vulnerability that Twitter disclosed in August 2022. Twitter said it learned of the vulnerability in January 2022.

It’s not the first time hackers appear to have exploited that vulnerability. In another incident, which appears to be a separate case, hackers in July 2022 were found selling 5.4 million Twitter account handles as well as their associated email addresses and phone numbers.

January 2022, by the way, was when Twitter fired its top two security officials, including Peiter “Mudge” Zatko. Zatko would later file a whistleblower complaint with the Securities and Exchange Commission alleging that Twitter was violating its 2011 consent decree, citing disastrous security and privacy missteps.

The hacker who posted the hundreds of millions of records last month has made additional claims, some of which couldn’t be independently verified, about celebrity names caught up in the leak. The hacker is seeking $200,000 for sale of the complete data set.

Gal’s firm tweeted that some of the claims look to be at least related to the overall breach.

“Piers Morgan, who appeared in the data samples provided by the Twitter hacker, just had his account hacked,” Hudson Rock tweeted. “This is likely not a coincidence: The reveal of the email address may have been just what the hacker needed to find passwords for the account, or social engineer his way.”

Regardless of who’s in the actual data set, the suspected size of the breach would put it on any list of some of the biggest in U.S. history.

In a coincidence of timing, the Irish Data Protection Commission had announced on Dec. 23 that it was investigating the breach that affected 5.4 million users — the same day the apparent second hacker posted the 235 million records.

In response to the emergence of the newest data set, the Irish Data Protection Commission said that it “will examine Twitter's compliance with data-protection law in relation to that security issue,” Chris Vallance of the BBC reported on Dec. 30.

U.S. regulators have also been watching developments at the company since Musk took over. “We are tracking recent developments at Twitter with deep concern,” the FTC said in response to privacy and security departures at the social media giant. “No CEO or company is above the law, and companies must follow our consent decrees.”

Musk has inspired lawmakers to issue warnings over his handling of the company, among them Sen. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), who got into a spat on Twitter with the company’s billionaire owner.

With Markey’s permission, The Post in November was able to create a “verified” impostor account posing as Markey. My colleague Geoffrey A. Fowler writes that he was able to impersonate Markey even after the company rolled out a new way to authenticate its paid “verified” accounts.

“It’s an absolute joke that Elon Musk, who prides himself on being a tech entrepreneur, can’t implement a functioning verification regime — except users aren’t laughing,” Markey said. 

“Twitter’s current leadership has failed to safeguard the platform from misinformation, failed to provide answers to my simple questions regarding their anti-fraud protocols, and failed to demonstrate an appreciation for the role that their platform plays in our democracy,” he said.
