Musk posted a laughing-hysterically emoji on his Twitter feed in response to a meme which depicts rival Mark Zuckerberg as the hapless Mr. Bean.

Meta Verified will cost $11.99 a month on web and $14.99 a month on iOS. It’s launching in Australia and New Zealand this week ahead of a wider rollout. Judging from social media reaction, however, it appears Zuckerberg has some convincing to do before Facebook users fork over money on a monthly basis.

“Introducing Meta Verified, the subscription service that lets you trade your government ID for a blue badge, false sense of security, and direct access to customer support,”Another : “Meta Verified is just as cringe as Twitter Blue and I would rather disappear into the abyss never to be known again than spend a dime trying to gain traction by paying for faux popularity on social media.”Musk tweeted that it was “inevitable” that Zuckerberg would roll out a subscription service for a verification check mark on Facebook and Instagram.

Zuckerberg on Sunday said the subscription “lets you verify your account with a government ID, get a blue badge, get extra impersonation protection against accounts claiming to be you, and get direct access to customer support.”
