Twitter Checkmark Chaos As Musk Verifies Fake Accounts and Deceased Celebrities

Twitter removed and then reinstated verification for some users, including dead celebrities, without explaining why.
Elon Musk said he personally paid for some verified accounts, but recipients said they did not pay.
A fake Disney account received a gold verification checkmark before posting racial slurs and getting suspended.
The changes to Twitter's verification policies have confused and angered many users.
A campaign to block verified accounts could undermine Musk's efforts to monetize verification.
