Elon Musk has a message for major brands that used to advertise on Twitter before he turned it into a haven for extremists. Paraphrasing:
"Come back and we'll give you a huge discount. Otherwise, we won't lift a finger to stop trolls from impersonating you."

@dangillmor Threatening your customers always works 
@dangillmor Isn’t that an invitation to sue Elmo for fraud, extortion, and defamation? After all felonies aren’t protected by the first amendment.
@dangillmor
Thats a lovely Brand you got there. Shame if something happened to it.
@dangillmor @ML2 Everything the the right does involves a bribe, a payoff or a hostage negotiation.
So, a brand with nous will employ their own impersonators?
Like the tobacco firms got caught bootlegging their own products into the former Iron Curtain decades ago...
@dangillmor
…and if you don’t we will take away verification, and let bad accounts impersonate you.
