For $8, What Could Go Wrong?

You know, I figured we could take a look at the $8 Twitter verification that Elon Musk thought would be a great idea.  If you have no idea what’s going on, here’s a little recap for you;

A few weeks ago, Elon Musk completed his $44 billion deal to own Twitter, he said it was “to help humanity”

He then went on to upgrade Twitter with Twitter Blue – a monthly subscription that allowed *a n y o n e* to have a blue checkmark – verified or not.

Apparently this new subscription model is supposed to “elevate quality conversations on Twitter. “

And boy did it!

Let’s have a gander at the chaos that ensued soon after by checking out some of the best Twitter Blue moments.
