Elon Musk on Saturday confirmed claims that Twitter employees were selling verification badges for certain users.
“Twitter employees were selling verification for upwards of $15,000. For certain accounts, mine included, they would refuse to verify you through the standard application and then privately offer to verify you for $$ behind the scenes. Investigation needed,” a user, WSBChairman—which has 900,000 followers—claimed Saturday on the platform. Musk confirmed that users claim, responding: “Yup.”
