Why do you need to verify anything at all? Musk validation shows someone paid some money for a check mark. Pre-musk validation meant that someone knew someone who worked at twitter. I don't see how one is "better" than another.

Old Twitter verification did this; the new blueticks do not appear to (see all the fake bluetick Elon Musks a while back). The Mastodon approach does, if and only if you trust the provenance of the linked domain.
