“Twitter Blue subscribers can now hide their checkmarks”

Elon managed to take the once-coveted blue check and turned it into something that’s embarrassing enough to warrant wanting to hide it 😂

    Can this not be easily used for money laundering? Use a ton of bot accounts to buy blue ✔️?

      Forgive me if I don’t know how money laundering works, but how do you get the money back out of Twitter in this scenario?

        Make a botnet that uses money to be laundered to purchase twit blue 1x each, then hide checkmark status so a difference can’t be seen.

        Harvest money through Twitter profit

          I wasnt aware they had a Rev share program. Yeah I guess if you can extract close to the check mark price it could work
