And he replied when asked about possibly a user having a badge for Twitter Blue subscribers:

Do not blindly trust whatever he tweets

Since 2019 he has been complaining about fake accounts and some even verified. It is certain that if he can buy it, he will change that.

From what Iā€™ve understood, Elon wants to introduce an ā€˜ID verificationā€™ badge which will be completely different from the verified badge we know today. Keeping this badge will require an ongoing subscription with Twitter Blue.

Thatā€™s correctly. But both tweets are different:

Twitter blue signature = will validate an user.
Twitter blue badge verification (like today) = will be more easiest to get (for public figures)

This would be problematic for a lot of ā€œrealā€ anon accounts that donā€™t want to doxx. I wonder how they would handle that

This aged well :skull:
