The Elon Musk Twitter saga may finally be reaching its end. After becoming the new CEO of Twitter in 2022, Musk modified the platform's verification system. As a result, users now have the option to pay for verification. This has drawn criticism from some users who believe that this goes against the platform's goals. The change in the verification system has also caused the blue checkmarks to be removed from the profiles of many public figures. Many of them have also voiced their opposition to Musk's decision to change the verification feature. This includes artists such as Doja Cat and Lil Nas X, who have expressed their frustration at having their verification status taken away without justification.
Musk also recently responded to a tweet proposing the addition of a dating feature on Twitter. The tweet was posted by content creator Steven Mark Ryan from the Youtube channel Solving The Money Problem. Musk replied swiftly, calling the idea "interesting" and suggesting that it could even create job opportunities. Ryan's tweet highlighted the feature's potential, stating that it "might actually save humanity from extinction." The YouTuber also referred to the idea as "very low hanging fruit" and expressed his belief that "Twinder would be HUGE." Whether or not the whole thing is a joke remains to be seen.
