Recall that Elon Musk bought Twitter, a micro blogging and social platform for $44 billion from Jack Dorsey and Co. Elon Musk announced his plans to acquire Twitter in the fourth quarter of 2022. Weeks after, he intended to withdraw from the acquisition deal but was compelled after some legal battles.

He began making changes shortly after acquiring the company. First, he laid off half of the company's staff. After which he announced a revised version of the Twitter Blue subscription service which would include a blue verified checkmark for anyone who purchased the service. 

This lead to impersonation of all sorts, hence the service was suspended.
