Since buying Twitter, Elon Musk has been continuously surprising his users. Now they have suspended their $8 Blue Tick subscription program for the time being. According to sources, the company has taken this decision due to the increase in fake accounts of famous brands. The website Platformer was the first to inform about the fake accounts. However, existing Twitter users will still have access to their accounts. They will be able to operate it normally. At the same time, there is also information that the company has also restored the ‘Official’ badge for high-profile accounts.
That’s why fake accounts are being created fast

Twitter has rolled out this service on Wednesday. Users also started trying it. After this, there was a flood of fake accounts with blue ticks. Fake tweets also started coming from these verified accounts, after which Twitter had to withdraw the decision of paid service for the time being.
