Elon Musk Agrees that an Investigation is Needed into Alleged Back Alley Blue Checkmark Deals with Possible Corrupt Twitter Employees

Twitter boss Elon Musk is rolling out a new premium Twitter service. This service appears to offer a blue check verification to the “proletariat” user.

This infuriates people like Robert Reich and AOC, not because they can’t afford $7.99 a month but because it makes them look less important by comparison in our view.

Sawyer Merritt tweets:

“BREAKING: Twitter has officially launched the revamped Twitter Blue for $7.99/month in select countries. Not all features are live yet. Some are coming later. Looks like the blue verified checkmark is now part of Twitter Blue, but as a Blue user I’m not seeing a checkmark yet.”

Popular Twitter user @WSBChairman tweeted a shocking allegation:

“Twitter employees were selling verification for upwards of $15,000. For certain accounts, mine included, they would refuse to verify you through the standard application and then privately offer to verify you for $$ behind the scenes. Investigation needed.”

Elon Musk responded: “Yup”:

Yup

Time will tell how or if an investigation will go down, or if Jack Dorsey or Parag Agrawal knew about this. Meanwhile, many stand by and await the new $7.99 Twitter plan to see how well it will work this coming week.
