    Elon Musk is personally choosing who is a lord and who is a peasant on Twitter.

    Remember when Musk pitched this whole pay-for-the-blue-checkmark business as a way to democratize Twitter, suggesting pesky elites would no longer get preferential status? How the “lords and peasants system” was “bullshit”?

    Today, he turned right around and paid for LeBron James and Stephen King’s verified badges. Guess the rest of us are peasants.

    The election-denying MyPillow CEO just lost a $5 million bet.

    He claimed he had data showing Chinese interference and said he would pay $5 million to anyone who could prove the material was not from the previous year’s U.S. election.

    He called the challenge “Prove Mike Wrong.”

    On Wednesday, a private arbitration panel ruled that someone did.

    Google Fi Wi.

    Nilay typed it this morning in Verge Slack, and I’ve been privately chuckling all day.

    Yes, I know it’s technically now called “Google Fi Wireless,” and that the addition of the word “wireless” helps get straight to the point. It’s way more practical than letting people confuse Google Fi with Google Fiber! And yet I continue to LOL.
