Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort decided to troll Elon Musk’s verification plans on Twitter. The brand account released a video showcasing a bunch of fake checkmarks they had earned. Fans found the entire thing pretty hysterical. The fervor over Twitter Blue and these changes has been palpable on the platform for a while now. $8 has led to some wild moments of fake accounts impersonating celebrities and companies already. It’s caused headaches for fans following their favorite reporters and outlets. Some experts have done the math and full-scale geopolitical espionage isn’t unthinkable with the new lax verification system.

But, the damage had been done and there were already memes rolling about the entire situation before the end of the day. Check out Reynolds jumping on the trend down below!
