Yes, that the account has paid Elon for a blue check. Originally it meant that the user was in fact who they appeared to be. Then it became a status symbol, then Twitter removed it on a couple of occasions for saying something they disagreed with, then came the accusations of Twitter admins being capricious about the whole process and essentially taking personal bribes in exchange for checks, then Elon bought it and made it a paid feature.
The grey check indicates the identity of an government or non-profit has been verified and the account is who it says it is.
The dude sucks but before you attribute this tweet to him:
This is a “fan” account. His official Twitter account is @Kash_Patel.
It’s telling of the fanbase but don’t go around showing this to people like it’s government communication or anything
But it’s got a blue check mark, that has a meaning!

Thank you. It’s also telling that we don’t doubt this at all because of how looney US politics are now, but it is important to know what’s true.
Yeah, I’m not accusing OP of it but I don’t want misinformation getting spread even if it’s “generally” correct
What is the real handle? Here is a @kash with a similar scam: https://feddit.org/post/8366190
That’s a red check mark which means it’s on truth social. That one is probably him
Why is this post not moderated out? The title pretty clearly implies it’s Kash talking here.
It was fucked that government communication would ever occur through Twitter in the first place
Agreed. Everyone knows the only place for government communication is Truth Social!
