Might as well have just fired them. There’s no way a feature like that can get released in most companies on that timeline, even without the scale issues.

Software deadlines of a week or so? Elon really doesn't knows thing about software management. What a tool - have fun attracting some real pieces of work.
Considering he built and sold software companies for hundreds of millions of dollars I would guess he knows quite a bit more about it than you.
or not - you're just some guy (like him)
so weird how engineers think some people are significant.
i don't and never have

What? Even in a bloated, red-tape bureaucratic hellhole, that's maybe a few engineer-weeks at absolute most. Wire up a payment processor, plug into whatever api sets the blue checkmark, have some expiration logic, done.

$20 a month... rofl I grouch about $5 a month for a static IP, not a chance on earth I, or anyone I know would pay $20 a month to twitter for anything they could provide. (and that $20 a month will be USD.. so it'll be like $28 a month for Australians) not a chance.. if they billed me a few cents per tweet maybe (if they threw in no adverts).

Musk hasn't built shit, he just uses his diamond mine money to invest in people who do the work for him, he exploits people, nothing more.
Considering it can cost thousand of dollars or time, such as sending documents, to verify accounts, this is a good deal , assuming it actually confers a blue checkmark and consequent privileges
This almost certainly involves a massive streamlining (and reduction in rigor) of verification. Most identification verification processes online don’t take thousands of dollars of time, and the whole point is to take “verification” from a thing for a very narrow elite to a thing for a (Musk hopes) very wide paying audience. Musk has been clear since very early that he wants to convert Twitter to a mostly-paid social network by merging Blue and verification, making the former more attractive to support a higher price and the latter far more widespread.
If he's going for creating the Internet's kitchen sink app.. that sounds exciting!
- Let me use Twitter to pay for parking in every city (right now I have to download tons of apps)
- Let me use it pay for other similar business transactions where there are of tons of apps you have to download to do X (paying for medical bills ...ugh so many portals)
- We need an Internet / public verification reputation system (not sure about paying $20 a month) as deepfakes are only going to get easier to use and more pervasive.
