Elon's statement suggests forced "authentication" for all users, so that'll presumably be the end of anonymous Twitter profiles and the start of needing to prove identity at sign-up time: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1518677066325053441


I would expect that feature roughly the same time I expect full self driving in Teslas, or the Cybertruck, or a mission to Mars. Musk makes lots of promises.


I think that means making blue checkmarks available for all humans.


Great news for everybody not-famous whose legal name happens to be Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin.

They can expect to make a ton of money using their famously named blue checkmark account for "Elon wants to donate you 1 BTC! Click here" spam.


Actually, he wants to do something about the bots too.


They could use zero knowledge proof
