Elon Musk Gets Revenge On Bette Midler For Calling Him A Worm: “We’ve started a save-a-celebrity fund to pay their $8, we take this matter very seriously”

Elon Musk took revenge on Bette Midler after the Hollywood star called him a worm over losing her coveted blue verification check mark silencing her with the perfect joke.

Bette whined: “Elon, deciding that I’m not me, I’m a fake, & obliging ME, who has contributed mightily to your platform, (at least until you “tweaked the algorithm & tanked my metrics”) to pay monthly because you don’t have enough money & you’re humiliated b/c everyone thinks you’re a pathetic douche, is the funniest thing you’ve ever done. Let that sink in. Sorry to hear about your rocket.

“Elon took my blue check away! I’m unverified! After all these years and thousands of tweets and free content, this worm has the nerve to de-certify me!”

She was not alone. Jason Alexander, the actor who played George Costanza on the hit sitcom Seinfeld, said:

“Ok everyone. Twitter has removed my verification. I will no longer be posting on this app. Anyone who posts as me is an imposter. I wish you all well.”

Alyssa Milano tried to bully Musk with a threat: “So by revoking my blue check mark because I wouldn’t pay some arbitrary fee, someone can just be me and say a bunch of bullshit. Does that mean Twitter and @elonmusk are liable for defamation or identity theft or fraud?

After the celebrities received blowback a Twitter user tried to make peace saying:

“The attacks on Alyssa Milano are out of line. She brought up a concern I think a lot of celebrities have.

Celebrities on Twitter are left with 3 choices right now:

1) Pay the $8.00.

2) Cancel their Twitter Account.

3) Know that some of their fans will be misled, possibly defrauded, and that they may be defamed.

While you may not agree with Milano’s take on this, she brings up choices that virtually every celebrity has to make.

I’d pay $8 to see her launched into space on one of your spacecrafts Elon.

And if they’re “mean bipolar”, like Bette, they should pay $8 per each personality.

I guess Elon Musk does not know how important these people are (in their own eyes).

It’s amazing how many celebrities cannot afford $8 per month.

Bette spent her early career in gay bath houses. It’s where she learned her hissy fittin’ skillz.
