As of this week, Twitter will release the new verified/blue where "verified" means "payment for $8/mo authorized". No actual verification of identity [0].
If this wasn't enough, Musk has confirmed the timeline will essentially shadowban non-verified accounts [1].
So anyone can take anyone's else's name as "verified" and the non-verified will not be seen.
Essentially this means if you have the money you can run dozens or thousands of verified accounts that claim to be anyone.
