Big brands troubled by fake accounts on Twitter, Elon Musk removed the option of blue tick


The ‘official’ badge is back for some accounts of micro -blogging site Twitter. Many users of Twitter have reported the disappearance of the blue tick of verification in the new subscription. After completing the deal to buy Twitter for about $ 44 billion last month, Elon Musk allowed users to pay eight dollars per month for blue tick.

Earlier, this tick, which indicates a verified account, was available only to politicians, actors and other famous persons. Musk’s electric car company Tesla, including Tesla, is seen with fake accounts of many big brands with blue ticks. Pharma company Eli Lilly had to apologize after giving incorrect information about insulin from a similar forged account. Disputes are going on over more insulison prices. It was said that insulin would be free by tweeting from the Maged Twitter account of ELI LILLY. After this, the company said, “We apologize to those who have received a message with wrong information from our fake account.” The company has also informed about its actual Twitter handle.

Apart from this, several misleading tweets have also been made from a fake account of Tesla. This week, Musk banned the work from home or remote location of the company’s workers. He also advised the workers to be ready for a difficult period. Musk said that there is no way to ignore the position of the economy and how it will affect a company like Twitter depending on advertisements. Musk informed Twitter staff about new rules in his first email.

Musk says that he wants to see half of the subscription in the company’s revenue. Earlier, there was a system to work permanently for Twitter workers. The company started the work with a remote location during the epidemic. Musk said that he is against such a system and will be allowed on the basis of each case. Musk has said in email that the road ahead is difficult and hard work is needed for success.
