The original Twitter verification process was a great solution to this back in the day !

It's a shame its brand was destroyed to make a quick buck. Most blue checks I see nowadays are spam and trolls




Isn’t Twitter/X way in the hole financially? In what way has it made a quick buck?


Not to over-parse, but "making a quick buck" is not synonymous with being profitable.


As far as I understand, Musk has lost billions of dollars since his acquisition. "Making a quick buck" implies that he has made money.


it implies revenue, not profitability


That makes no sense whatsoever. Elon ruined Twitter for a quick buck but he’s actually lost money on it? Then he obviously hasn't made a quick buck on it.


He ruined Twitter with the intention of making a quick buck.

That he has failed does not make it incorrect to say that he did it for a quick buck.
