Elon Musk's Twitter Blue Fiasco
- Twitter Blue, a subscription service allowing users to buy verified badges, was launched under Elon Musk's ownership but faced immediate backlash. - Employees warned Musk about the dangers of the service, fearing it could lead to misinformation and harassment. - Despite initial enthusiasm, the service was shut down a day after its launch due to widespread criticism and confusion. - The chaotic rollout and subsequent issues have damaged Musk's reputation and Twitter's credibility. - The book 'Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter' provides an in-depth look at the tumultuous period.
