Elon Musk Gets Last Laugh As MSNBC Host Who Complained About ‘Blue-Check MAGA Trolls’ Has His Reinstated By Twitter

After complaining about “Blue-check MAGA trolls,” MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan has had his reinstated by Twitter.

Hasan reacted angrily to the reinstatement of his “Blue-check” and questioned the legality behind the move.

In a tweet, Hasan asked, “Erm, why do I have a blue check again @Twitter @TwitterSupport?”

“I. Did. Not. Pay. For. Twitter. Blue,” Hasan insisted.

Hasan then shared a screenshot of his account in a reply and wondered, “Twitter lawyers, how is this legally okay? Isn’t this false advertising or something? This is literally a lie.”

In a quote tweet of Hasan’s reply journalist Aaron Rupar provided backup as he claimed, “It really is sleazy at best that Twitter is lying about journalists/celebrities subscribing to their product when they, you know, haven’t.”

As we previously reported, Hasan complained in a tweet that he’s only able to see replies or mentions from “blue-check MAGA trolls” on Elon Musk’s Twitter.

The tweet from Hasan came after he received a community note that offered context to a clip that he shared recently in a tweet.

Hasan kvetched, “This site is becoming more unusable by the day. Can’t see replies or mentions from people I follow, or normal folks, as it’s all full of blue-check MAGA trolls.”

“Old Twitter was occasionally toxic but usable. New Twitter is often toxic *and* unusable. Good job Elon (!),” Hasan declared.
