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;

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

And boy did it!
