A UAW official told The Intercept that the union had paid for X verification and confirmed that the account had been marked as verified until earlier today when UAW said it was removed without any notification from X

wtf they paid to be verified 🤦‍♂️

I don't know. A auto workers union giving money to an oligarch that's always attacking unions and runs a car company without unionized workers sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing to do. /s

With that criteria, one can’t do anything in America without a small trickle passing to the oligarchs.

He's just reinforcing the Blie Check brand. Having it revoked is a badge of honor. About time the UAW got decent leadership after their former leadership helped fuck over antler-bernie at the 2016 convention.
