The twitter Blue Subscription plan is now active. With the new arrangement, anyone who pays a $8 monthly fee can have a verified twitter account. The micro blogging platform has seen a sharp increase in bogus accounts mimicking individuals with verified blue ticks since the launch of the new subscription.
For instance, individuals have started using verified twitter accounts to post as former british Prime minister Tony Blair, former US President George W. Bush, and even Jesus Christ. A blue tick has served as a symbol of honesty and sincerity on twitter thus far. But now that the twitter blue tick is essentially being sold for $8, several bogus accounts have appeared with the real blue tick logo.
The twitter account for Jesus Christ, @jesus, with the bio "Carpenter, Healer, God," has been given verified status. Since 2006, there has been a balance on the account. Elon is practically suggesting that this guy @Jesus only needs to pay $8 per month to be recognised as the son of the Christian god. One person asks, "Like he is the REAL JESUS just like that?"
