Elon Musk announced that he would roll out a subscription-based blue checkmark service shortly after he purchased Twitter for $44 billion last year.“A blue check mark will now simply serve as a verification that the account is a paid user,” White House Director of Digital Strategy Rob Flaherty wrote in an email Friday.“Staff may purchase Twitter Blue on their personal social media accounts using personal funds,” he added.
The White House official also warned that part of the fallout from Twitter Blue may be the creation of fake accounts purportedly belonging to Biden administration staffers and he asked staff to report impersonations.
