Since it includes bread, it’s already a great tweet in my book. The next question for me is, could his last tweet include bread to close it?

Let’s summarize:

On October 30, Elon Musk, CEO and founder of Space X, the CEO of Tesla, finally took over Twitter after long-term acquisition from the platform.

In less than a month, we’ve seen the verification process become irrelevant and confusing due to Twitter Blue subscription service Being able to give any user a blue tick, there was also a massive firing of employees.

On November 11, Twitter Blue was completely removed, and there has been silence from Musk since then.

Therefore, it is almost inevitable that the Blue Tick verification process appears to have been done.

Musk himself has fallen victim to this, with countless fake accounts appearing to be him – and with Blue Tick to prove it. This appears to be the straw that broke the camel’s back, as Musk then backed away from some of the more lax elements of the new verification process.

However, as people expected, verified accounts started popping up on Twitter, and while it was clear that many of them were parody, because they had a ‘Blue Tick’, it became hard to tell, especially with the more accurate accounts.

Unsurprisingly, the individuals and companies who were ridiculed were not too happy about this.

Worryingly for Twitter, several brands have started to announce that they are no longer advertising on the platform.

Despite concerns and complaints, Musk was initially dismissive.

By posting memes about people’s complaints, he left many people feeling that he was not taking the issue seriously.

Perhaps the most controversial thing about Musk’s acquisition of Twitter has been the changes in how accounts are verified.

Previously, if the verified account was for a media port (such as tech radar (Opens in a new tab)) or another organization that posted something, you’ll at least know it came from an official source. Blue Check also made it possible for Twitter users to know the difference between the many celebrities on Twitter and the users they were imitating.

However, Musk implemented a change that would allow anyone to get verified for $8 per month.

This has led some people to worry that users may pretend to be official and easily verifiable accounts, making it difficult for people to tell which accounts are real – and which ones are not. And that’s exactly what happened.
