“Painful, but necessary,” he said, adding that verified accounts would be manually authenticated before a check was activated. The social media platform on Monday delayed its relaunch to make it foolproof as the service is expected to help Twitter grow revenue at a time when Musk is trying to retain advertisers after buying the company in October for $44bn.
