New: That fake verified Eli Lilly account sparked a panic inside the pharma giant, and senior execs decided they’d had enough, freezing all Twitter ad campaigns in a huge blow to @elonmusk. “For $8,” they lost out on “millions of dollars in ad revenue”

Cost for one vial of insulin:
🇦🇺: $6.94
🇬🇧: $7.52
🇫🇷: $9.08
🇩🇪: $11
🇨🇦: $12
🇯🇵: $14.40
🇺🇸: $98.70

No one should be forced to take out their wallets for insulin – a life-saving drug that was invented nearly 100 years ago. It’s time to end the greed of the pharmaceutical industry.
