Since taking control of the social network, Musk has broken things. He told remaining staff to get back to work and to expect to work 80 hours a week. The $8 a month service that also offers a verified account quickly backfired and led to a lot of impersonations. Insider has put together a list of the main events at the micro-blogging site. After Musk said anyone would be able to purchase a verification checkmark, critics worried that it would make it easier to impersonate others on the platform. The people decided to impersonate Musk by changing their names. Some people wanted to show the billionaire how easy it was to do so. Their accounts were shut down. The social media app was taken over by Musk. He said last Sunday that anyone who impersonates without specifying "parody" will be suspended. He said on Friday that parody accounts have to include "parody" in their names. Accounts are doing parody impersonations. It's not okay to trick people. Musk launched a feature to differentiate accounts with blue badges purchased from the official accounts of politicians and celebrities. Esther Crawford, the company's product management director, said on Tuesday that the official tag was only available to accounts that included government accounts, commercial companies, business partners, major media outlets and some public figures. The tag appeared on Wednesday, but then vanished. Musk described the label as a nightmare and said they created a two-class system. The badges are being added to some accounts again.
