That already has happened way before Musk took over. Nothing changed. At least now people are more wary that blue checkmark doesn't mean "I can trust this user".
- dragontamer 2y agoNo. Today cryptocoin scams have blue checkmarks when before they didn't. That's why 'Elon Musk airdrop cryptocoin' message is basically today's Nigerian Prince scam. If you can get a blue checkmark for just $8 and call yourself Elon Musk (or any other celebrity), you'll easily make more money on the scam than you spend on a throwaway account.

- dragontamer 2y agoBut they weren't able to have a blue checkmark while impersonating celebrities.
