“WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO UPGRADE TO A SHINY YELLOW ONE PLEASE?” added Felix. This tweet attracted a lot of attention from other content creators. Even the Call of Duty veteran and Streaming icon Dr Disrespect joined the fray as he jumped in the replies to share his mind on the matter.

“Same with me too Elon. I don’t have gold chains like X, but I do drive multiple Lamborghinis with gold interior stitching on my headrests,” said Doc. He claimed that just like X, he also deserves a better checkmark, most likely a yellow one. To seal the deal, he claims he is better than the former, as he is “6’8″ and athletic as hell.”
