It's been a rough time for 51-year-old edgelord Elon Musk since he completed his $44bn takeover of Twitter.
The rollout of its new subscription service has been patchy to say the least, deluged as it has been by fake accounts and 'this MF paid for Twitter' memes.
As the owner of Tesla, Musk is used to a smoother ride than this but things have just got even worse - Balenciaga has quit his social media site.
Who or what is Balenciaga?
Balenciaga is a high-end fashion retailer, founded in San Sebastian. They're currently selling a combined high-heeled shoe and Adidas sock for £1,050.
So they sell overpriced nonsense to idiots?
Yes, so you'd think they and Musk would be a match made in heaven.
Why did they quit Twitter?
They've yet to elaborate but it's probably to do with the changes Elon has made since he took over.
His Twitter Blue asks users to pay $8 a month for a verification check, previously afforded to brands, celebrities, politicans and other notable figures.
Paying just to use Twitter?
Musk initially announced it was going to be $20 but Stephen King talked him out of it.
Surely bestselling author Stephen King can afford $8 a month?
He may be well-off but that doesn't mean he just throws his money away. You might even say he's penny-wise.
That's a terrible joke.
I know, I'm sorry.
So what's been happening with this blue check stuff?
All sorts of things. Someone posing as pharma giant tweeted 'insulin is free' with a verified check mark and it caused the company's stock to tank.
Elsewhere we've seen fake Tony Blair and fake George W Bush reminiscing fondly about the Iraq War, a LeBron James impersonator saying he's leaving the LA Lakers and a bogus Coca-Cola account stating that drinking the stuff increases your risk of cancer by 67%.
Oh yeah, I actually saw an Elon Musk impersonator posting a poll asking if Twitter was 'better, worse or LMAO'.
No, that was actually 51-year-old richest man in the world Elon Musk.
How many people have signed up to pay for Twitter Blue?
Around 61,000 as of last week. Musk wants to generate half of the company's revenue via paid subscribers.
And what percentage of users have signed up?
About 0.025 per cent. The average conversion rate in e-commerce is roughly 2-3%.
I was skeptical before, but after seeing his management skills in action I think letting Elon Musk oversee the migration of Earth's wealthiest people to Mars is a great idea.

Doesn't sound great, what else has Elon got up his sleeve?
He's long talked about a plan that would see humans, presumably the world's wealthiest ones, colonise Mars. Because, quote, "we don't want to be one of those single-planet species".
Let's hope it goes as well as Twitter...
You said that, I couldn't possibly comment.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
