As the new owner of Twitter looks for ways to reduce fake accounts on the network, Elon Musk, a billionaire who owns Twitter, revealed on Sunday that the firm will soon make it easy for businesses to identify Twitter accounts that are connected to them.
Musk said in a tweet on Sunday that ‘Rolling out soon.’ Thanks to Twitter, businesses can confirm whether other Twitter accounts are indeed linked to them.
He said nothing further.
Due to the proliferation of fake accounts, the social media platform paused its recently announced $8 blue check subscription service on Friday. However, some users were able to reclaim their ‘official’ badge thanks to new owner Elon Musk.

In a post from yesterday, Musk stated that Twitter Blue would ‘come back end of next week.’
