Twitter verification — characterized by a blue check badge — is now available to all users, but those paying $8 for their checkmark are getting the meme treatment from fellow tweeters.
Elon Musk's short time at the helm of Twitter has brought up-to-the-minute changes to the app, and his attempt to make verification accessible to all doesn't seem to be going over well. The $8 Twitter Blue subscription means anyone can pay to be verified, but their blue check comes with a disclaimer. The message reads,"This account is verified because it's subscribed to Twitter Blue." Those who are verified for notability however, have a message attached to their checkmark that reads,"This account is verified because it's notable in government, news, entertainment, or another designated category.
Cue the memes. The jokes are flowing as users call out anyone who would pay just to be verified on the social media platform.

Opinion | Elon Musk made Twitter even more awful in one fell swoopThere has been a devastating proliferation of anti-LGBTQ — and especially anti-trans — hate speech on the site since Musk acquired it. Bigotry isn't all that bad. Free speech will combat it. This is stalking folks. It's creepy. Please stop. You're like a needy ex girlfriend. . . When you say ‘addressing bigotry’ do you actually mean vocal opposition to your narrative?

Winnipeg Pride photo altered, shared with claim it shows 'Twitter staff protesting Elon Musk'A manipulated image is circulating in social media posts that falsely claim it shows Twitter employees protesting massive layoffs at the company after billionaire Elon Musk took over. The photo was actually taken at a Pride parade in Canada in 2013 and the text on the banner has been altered to insert a message insulting Musk. Can 100% confirm this fact-check. I’m the one in the blue flannel and newsboy hat. I agree that musky-boy is a incompetent, but I am most certainly not an employee of his in past, present, or foreseeable future endeavours.
