Newly arrived as CEO of the platform, Musk proposed a change of Twitter Blue subscription.

To say the lacnium was chaotic is an understatement. Among a fake account of Nintendo with Super Mario doing the middle finger and company Eli Lilly who promised from a fake account to make insulin free in the USA, and then take it all back. The result is that all the largest advertising agencies in the world have advised their customers against using the platform.

Musk explained that with the new Twitter Blue this will not be possible. In a tweetexplained that “With the new launch, changing your verified name will cause you to lose the blue check until the new name is confirmed by Twitter as abiding by the Terms of Service”.

A solution that could solve the main problems that have emerged in recent weeks, which perhaps could have come to mind earlier if the implementation hadn’t been rushed. Although this solution it does not prevent users choosing a fake name before purchasing the subscription.
