“Slides from my Twitter company talk”, Musk tweeted.

After the Twitter Blue launch ­— a feature that requires verified accounts to pay a minimum fee to retain their blue tick signifying a verified profile — there was a spike in fake profiles. However, after rising around to nine thousand on November 11 the number of fake accounts reported came down to around three thousand on November 15.
