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.

This needs verified. The source is from imgur but I cannot find the original tweet. The Chairman’s twitter account is at https://twitter.com/WSBChairman
Gee, I remember back in the dark ages we used to call that plain ‘ol EXTORTION.
A shake down? Though untoward, is it illegal?
IF this is true-— Does this give MUSK reasons for ‘firing for cause’ for some of the Twitter dead weight???
Or a form of Payola.
And now you can get it for $8 a month.
The imgur picture shows Elon with a checkmark agreeing with this claim.
People could go to jail over this. Yes it is extortion.
What a libtard scam just like the Biden administration and his cronies
It sure makes 8 bucks a month look like a bargain. Wonder if those squawking loudest already paid the extortion rate?
... a kind of embezzlement as well.
Here’s the twitter thread with Musk’s acknowledgment at the end

Thanks for the link to the original twitter.
And here I thought it would be stupid to pay $8.00 per month for it when you can still post your crap free, just without the blue checkmark.
What kind of fool do you have to be to pay $15,000 for some crooked employee to give you a blue checkmark?
LOL, this, and the government colluding with them to censor. Now we cans ee why they were freaking out about Elon.
I am sure they reported the “fee” as income to the IRS. 😀
Greedy little fookers, huh?
ALL and I mean EVERY single one of the Leftist POS A-holes who were on the take doing this MUST be prosecuted by the IRS!!!!
Get the ACTUAL Tax Cheats and punish them severely.
The IRS should not be permitted to hire even a single agent until the fuel and complete list of Leftists at Twitter faint this are behind bars.
A likely guess.
The smug, self-proclaimed judges of all virtue were corrupt as can be.
Surprise, surprise...
