Now, anyone can get one as long as they have a phone, a credit card and $8 a month.<\/p>\n<p>An impostor account posing as pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly &amp; Co. and registered under the revamped Twitter Blue system tweeted that insulin was free, forcing the Indianapolis company to post an apology.<\/p>\n<p>Nintendo, Lockheed Martin, Musk&#8217;s own companies Tesla and SpaceX were also impersonated, as well as the accounts of various professional sports and political figures.<\/p>\n<p>For advertisers who have put their business with Twitter on hold, the fake accounts could be the last straw: Musk&#8217;s rocky run atop the platform \u2014 laying off half its workforce and triggering high-profile departures \u2014 has raised questions about its survivability.<\/p>\n<p>The impostors can cause big problems, even if they&#8217;re taken down quickly.<\/p>\n<p>They have created &#8220;overwhelming reputational risk for placing advertising investments on the platform,&#8221; said Lou Paskalis, longtime marketing and media executive and former Bank of America head of global media.<\/p>\n<p>Adding that with the fake &#8220;verified&#8221; brand accounts, &#8220;a picture emerges of a platform in disarray that no media professional would risk their career by continuing to make advertising investments on, and no governance apparatus or senior executive would condone if they did.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the confusion, Twitter now has two categories of &#8220;blue checks,&#8221; and they look identical. One includes the accounts verified before Musk took helm. It notes that &#8220;This account is verified because it&#8217;s notable in government, news, entertainment, or another designated category.&#8221; The other notes that the account subscribes to Twitter Blue.<\/p>\n<p>But as of midday Friday, Twitter Blue was not available for subscription.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, Musk tweeted that &#8220;too many corrupt legacy Blue &#8216;verification&#8217; checkmarks exist, so no choice but to remove legacy Blue in coming months.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thursday night, Twitter also once again began adding gray &#8220;official&#8221; labels to some prominent accounts. It had rolled out the labels earlier this week, only to kill them a few hours later.<\/p>\n<p>They returned Thursday night, at least for some accounts \u2014 including Twitter&#8217;s own, as well as big companies like Amazon, Nike and Coca-Cola, before many vanished again.<\/p>\n<p>Celebrities also did not appear to be getting the &#8220;official&#8221; label.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter is heavily dependent on ads and about 90% of its revenue comes from advertisers. But each change that Musk is rolling out \u2014 or rolling back \u2014 makes the site less appealing for big brands.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It has become chaos,&#8221; said Richard Levick, CEO of public relations firm Levick. &#8220;Who buys into chaos?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Twitter is a small part of total ad spending for the biggest companies that advertise on the platform. Google, Amazon and Meta account for about 75% of digital ads globally, with all other platforms combined making up the other 25%. Twitter accounts for about 0.9% of global digital ad spending, according to Insider Intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For most marketers on budgets, Twitter has always been that thing that is potentially too big to totally ignore but not quite big enough to care about,&#8221; said Mark DiMassimo, creative chief of marketing agency DiGo.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;None of this is a forever moral or ethical stand on the point of advertisers,&#8221; he added. &#8220;If Musk proves to be a civilizing force in the long run advertisers will come back \u2014 if Twitter is still there. It&#8217;s a &#8216;for now&#8217; decision \u2014 why be there now?&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitter&#8217;s relaunched premium service was unavailable Friday after the social media platform was flooded by a wave of imposter accounts it itself had approved.
