As Twitter continues to flail about in the wake of Elon Musk’s takeover as CEO, Trevor Noah is having a lot of fun watching it all happen. According to the “Daily Show” host, “it’s the best Twitter’s ever been.”
During his show on Thursday night, Noah made sure to set aside time to poke fun at Twitter’s troubles. This week, those troubles have specifically been thanks to the rollout of Twitter Blue’s paid verification service. For just $8/month, subscribers could pay to get a blue checkmark next to their name, thus “verifying” them. But, as pretty much everyone expected, that function got abused.
