United States: A digital Media Manager, Kyle Grantham, criticises Elon Musk for his official statement, “Twitter needs to become the most correct source of information about the world. That’s our mission.”
The digital Media Manager shared a statement by Elon Musk about making Twitter the most accurate source of information all over the globe, and he commented to do this, he will let anyone who gives him money appear to be a legal source of news rather than just making sure all legitimate sources of information are confirmed to be who they outline they are.
And to do this, I’ll let anyone to gives me money appear to be a legitimate source of news, rather than just ensuring all legitimate sources of news are confirmed to be who they say they are https://t.co/otFWaWJTxt

Recently, he made the decision to charge at least 8$ for the verification of all Twitter accounts, which will also include more features, such as freedom of speech.
Along with this, the new Twitter head tagged Kyle Grantham and replied, “You represent the problem,” The Journalists who believe they are the only primary source of accurate legal information, then that is a big lie.
I literally do not care who you verify, I care that you’re making money the sole barrier to verification
If all it takes is $96/year, well-funded misinformers have vastly more power than under-funded local journalists https://t.co/OT8DmSJeG2

For those curious the functional benefits of verification on Twitter:
1. You can filter your mentions to only verified accounts
2. Your replies to tweets tend to appear higherThat’s literally it
The real benefit is users knowing you are actually you. That should just be free.
