The Guy Behind A Fake Insulin Tweet Celebrated Eli Lilly’s Price Reduction

But there is another possible reason for Eli Lilly who makes this change: Elon Musk is deploying the deployment of the verification of Twitter blue, and a guy from Queens who decided to exploit it for Troll Eli Lilly.

At the beginning of November 2022, Twitter began to offer checked control marks to Blue Blue subscribers of $ 8 per month. The first days were an undisputed disaster, with imitators who made a boost throughout the chronology. For example, a verified “nintendo” account tweeted an image of Mario giving the finger.

Sean Morrow, 34, writer for the more perfect union site, also wanted to embark on the action of the verification farce. He changed the handful of an old novelty that he owed to @ellyyandco and tweeted: “We are delighted to announce that insulin is free now.”

The tweet became viral, amplified by people who could have wrongly believed that it was real and those who understood that it was a gaffeur. Morrow skillfully executed a dunk on Eli Lilly (many thought that a company valued at $ 300 billion should already make insulin without insulin) and Musk’s Twitter for his new poorly thought.

Morrow has no diabetes, but he was forced by the injustice of insulin pricing. “I have always seen it as one of the worst corporate operations of all the others in a world of terrible business operations of everyone,” he told Buzzfeed News.
