I've seen (and reported) a lot of such verified accounts that pose as Elon Musk. I don't get one thing—why can't Twitter set up a system that alerts to such changes to verified accounts? Can't they do a match on the name/profile image that could alert them of a possible hack? I'm stumped as to why they don't have such a system in place already considering not everyone has a verified account.
