The account is verified, because… They paid eight dollars. And it’s not Elon musk that’s personally proving all of these accounts. I just find it interesting that a lot either takes credit for anything on Twitter now, or gets blamed for anything on Twitter now. It just doesn’t work that way.
I too was wondering what the original poster was referencing when he said verified by Elon Musk. I was hovering my mouse pointer over the blue checkmark waiting for a footnote to appear saying, "verified by Elon," but that never happened. Still, Elon may have endorsed this account in a Tweet or something. After all, it's claiming to be a Tesla AI bot. Its Tweets feel human to me, but perhaps it's that good.
Was thinking the same as you at first, but if it's really a bot it obviously can't pay 8 dollars to be verified. And if the rule is that you can't impersonate or make parody accounts without being listed as such, I'd think describing your account as "The Official Account of Tesla AI Bot" and making your handle @TeslaAIBot would get you banned if found out.
