- Elon Musk is delaying the rollout of Twitter’s paid verification system until the end of the month.
- He wants the service to be “rock solid.”
- This comes after tons of fake verified accounts flooded Twitter, forcing Musk to halt the $8 Twitter Blue subscription.
Twitter’s paid verification goof-up is undoubtedly one for the history books. Impersonators created havoc on the social media platform after it rolled out the $8 Twitter Blue subscription service that doles out a blue check mark to anyone who pays. So much so that the stock prices of major companies like Eli Lilly and Lockheed Martin took a nosedive last week thanks to fake tweets from so-called “verified” Twitter accounts.
