Ms. Midler threw a tantrum on Twitter this week upon realizing that Elon Musk had removed her blue check status; she claims Musk decided “I’m not me.”
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

“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,” she wrote, addressing Musk.
Early in the day, she called Musk a “worm.”
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!

Ms. Midler was roasted on Twitter for the “outrage.”

“And you are…?” Ron Coleman replied. Another user replied to Coleman with, “I didn’t even know she was still alive, much less on Twitter.”
“If you had any self-awareness, this tweet would embarrass you,” a third person said.
Meme maker Carpe Donktum started a joke GoFundMe for Midler to raise funds for her verification. “In light of the recent Blue Check tragedy. A GoFundMe has been set up for one of the most tragic victims, [Bette Midler],” user CasuallyGreg wrote. “Please donate what you can to support this poor unfortunate woman.”
As of Friday morning, the campaign had raised $160.
