(12,623 posts)There are no fake accounts on Elon Musk's platform with verified checkmarks on them that claim to be official accounts? None whatsoever?
Up thread we've been discussing this particular account in a couple of roundy-rounds. This is not a new revelation to us.
On the other hand, I'm pretty much convinced it's real from the Axios and ABC links that highplainsdem supplied above.
I have no regrets whatsoever in raising the issue, and certainly no regrets about not automatically giving a helluva lot of credence Elon Musk's website checkmarks. But now that we have some strong evidence that it's a real account from other than Musk&Co, I'm pretty much convinced.
I think the official https://www.gov.ca.gov website should have a list of their official social media accounts and links, but I can't find any such. It might be there somewhere; it's a vast website. Some organizations that I'm familiar with do have such for just such situations, since impostor websites and accounts are numerous.
