Newly verified accounts impersonating old verified accounts appears to be rampant. If only Elon had staff to get on top of this

This is all going so well isn't it.

2.6 billion active users on youtube.
20 million, just 20 million pay for youtube premium, a service with a clear improvement.
Netflix charged I think 8 per month, but that is too high and they added 5 per month plus adverts.
And somehow twitter is going to have 1 billion paying subs each month. Righttttt

Seems so, both of those accounts are now nuked after paying $8... ditto to the Rudy one posted too.
In terms of actual spammers rather than people having fun on day 1, having to pay $8, linked to an apple or android ID only to have the account rapidly nuked if you try and abuse it is not a good business proposition. Great for twitter security too if they're getting apple/android IDs used by scammers/spammers.
Yeah, he seems to have unfinished business re: his previous ambitions for Paypal, could be interesting!
After the fact moderation
We're going to see this go on and on and on until a pre-moderated verification system shocking like the old system is brought back
A monetisation scheme thought up 5 minutes ago is not verification.
It is a form of it, I don't doubt they could introduce an ID requirement element of it though.
Edit: in fact he's pretty much confirmed they will now:

I love the way that Musk is fixing issues that could have been foreseen by anyone who actually thought about it, after they've started rolling out the service without the staff to support it, or the time to test it.
Also how is it "very little promotion" given he's been twitting on about it constantly since he took over the company and decided to throw random ideas out and see what sticks.

And many people used VPNs to take up dirt cheap deals in other territories like a mate did. Then added a few of us as friends and family.
so what we can take from this is elons actually a moron who got trolled and owned by twitter.
He only got rich because he for lucky with government funding and selling tesla stock to idiots

Shows a criminal mentality there , taking pecuniary advantage, and who is criticising Musk for breaking the laws. Taking the moral high ground is over I'm afraid colonel.

Lol what

Are you saying you'd never use a VPN to get a deal or service available to others around the world? That is one of the great things about VPNs.

I mean, there is no real reason the new system couldn't work as intended if he hadn't come in and shouted "I want this done yesterday!!!!!".
Soldato
That is what I am saying. As I don't use a VPN.
Soldato
But the original point he made still stands yes?
Soldato
There is nothing illegal in doing so. You'd have to be a fool not to take advantage of such as a service. Maybe you should consider using a VPN. You can save money on flights and all kinds of other services.

Sounds like Elon used the same product release plan Apple did with Apple Maps in iOS 7.0.

Predictable but also funny:
