Musk announces new Twitter feature for organisations; apologises for app being 'super slow'

In a bid to tackle the rise of fake accounts, Twitter CEO Elon Musk has announced that organisations on the micro-blogging platform will soon be able to highlight the Twitter accounts associated with them. He also apologised for the app "being super slow in many countries".

On Sunday, Musk took to Twitter, and without elaborating much, he posted:

"Rolling out soon, Twitter will enable organizations to identify which other Twitter accounts are actually associated with them."

In the next tweet, the wealthiest man on the planet apologised for Twitter being slow in many countries by writing:

"Btw, I'd like to apologize for Twitter being super slow in many countries. App is doing >1000 poorly batched RPCs just to render a home timeline!"

Since completing the Twitter deal, Musk has made a flurry of decisions that have been aimed at tackling fake accounts on Twitter that has millions of daily active users.

Recently, after rolling out the $7.99 Twitter Blue subscription service for iOS users that allowed them to get the blue verification tick on their profiles, Twitter made it unavailable as several users bought the verification to impersonate brands, celebrities and even fictional characters like Mario.
