Elon Musk’s Twitter blue verification system is copping widespread backlash for enabling misinformation

Elon Musk’s new blue tick verification process is copping backlash for allowing a misinformation disaster.

Twitter subscribers can buy now the blue tick for just $8, meaning literally anyone can be verified.

They can have access to the previously prestigious blue tick without jumping through any checks and balances.

However, within hours of being implemented, chaos erupted on the social media platform.

A verified Jesus Christ account popped up, as well as another Lebron James user.

More accounts impersonating famous people are appearing by the minute, tweeting outlandish claims, leaving Twitter users baffled.

Someone also created a ‘Nintendo of America’ account and paid for the blue tick. Before uploading a picture of Mario flipping the bird.

The Twitter feed has quickly spiralled into a wild west of deception. Twitter’s support sector was quick to comment on the vast array of new blue tick accounts and said its urgently fixing the flaws.

Before Elon Musk took the reins of the social media giant, many top officials voiced their concerns about misinformation spreading on the platform. Musk had long made it clear that he would shake up and remove content guidelines all in a bid for ‘free speech.’

However, it might be backfiring on the billionaire as many now reassess the platform’s credibility.
