There is absolutely zero verification now and hundreds of people have bought the blue check and named their account things like Elon Musk. Some of them have been banned after reports but there's like 14 people left doing moderation so god speed to that team.

He said twitter is garbage bc all the bots and crypto is garbage bc it's only for scams. Now the guy owns Twitter (by force) and pumps'n'dumps crypto. Integrity at its best.

There have been blue check-marked fake Elon Musks even before the rollout. The blue check was hard to get but it did never really help to ensure authenticity.
