After slashing the company’s workforce, falling behind on rent and contract obligations, Twitter under the mercurial billionaire of Elon Musk is now auctioning off memorabilia.

Elon Musk claimed in a 2018 tweet that he had lined up the financing to pay for a $72 billion buyout of Tesla. But the buyout never materialized.

A hacker was reportedly attempting to sell the data of hundreds of millions of users that was stolen in a Twitter breach.

Millions of Twitter users asked Elon Musk to step down as the head of Twitter in a poll the billionaire created and promised to abide by.

Reporters from several news agencies have seen their accounts go dark, with suspensions continuing even this weekend with a Washington Post reporter.

Musk’s decision to suspend several journalists from Twitter has raised concerns that his actions could have a “chilling effect” on criticism of Twitter’s new owner and CEO.

Elon Musk’s abrupt suspension of several journalists who cover Twitter widens a growing rift between the social media site and media organizations that have used the platform to build their audiences.

Twitter said users who “sign up now” for the new “Twitter Blue with verification” can receive the blue check next to their names “just like the celebrities, companies and politicians you already follow.”

Twitter began widespread layoffs Friday as new owner Elon Musk overhauls the social platform and some employees filed a class action lawsuit alleging not enough time was given to them before getting the boot. 

The story of Twitter's blue checkmarks — a simple verification system that's come to be viewed as an elite status symbol — began with some high-profile impersonations, just as the site began taking off in 2008 and '09.
