“There Could Be an Upside..”: Billionaire Elon Musk Finds Unlikely Support for His Controversial Policy in the NBA

Billionaire Elon Musk made one of the biggest acquisitions in corporate history after he acquired social media giant Twitter. And immediately he made some big changes and implemented one controversial policy which drew the attention of the world. But Musk has found an unlikely supporter from the NBA.

After months of speculation, Elon Musk finally bought Twitter in a deal that cost him $44 Billion. Musk has reportedly made massive changes to Twitter already and has fired several top employees since taking over. He has made massive changes to the company and has been very clear in the direction he wants to take.

One of the biggest and most controversial changes that he made was to the verification process. Before, not everyone could get themselves verified or get the blue tick on Twitter.

Now the entire verification process has changed. People now just need to pay $8 a month to have the verified blue tick added to their account. This policy has received a ton of backlash as this new process has no verification, and this has led to many accounts being made that impersonate celebrities and sports stars, sharing fake news and causing chaos online.

Recently, accounts pretending to be LeBron James and NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski have caused a stir in the NBA world after the fake tweets were mistaken to be true.

Morey suggested that the change in policy will force people to verify sources more carefully and make them more careful in what they choose to believe. However, there are few who think this policy can have a massive benefit, as many people seem to believe that this move could be a disaster for the platform.
