Well, this is clever. How long before Musk closes her Twitter account or does something equally as nefarious though?

Will the real Elon Musk please stand up?

As Twitter’s system for verifying that people really are who they say they are now requires a $7.99/month fee, celebrities who already had a blue checkmark, including “One Day at a Time” actress Valerie Bertinelli and “Roswell” star Brendan Fehr, changed their names on the platform to “Elon Musk” as a subtle protest.

“Is Elon Musk as worried that all his tweets are from ‘Elon Musk’ as I am? I mean, even my good ones,” Fehr tweeted.

Bertinelli, whose Twitter handle “Wolfiesmom” is a nod to her son Wolfie Van Halen, tweeted her support for Democratic candidates ahead of next week’s midterms. Musk himself famously switched his allegiance to the Republican party earlier this year.

Here's what her account looked like for about 24 hrs.

Bertinelli explained.

Planty of Liberal values and Democratic candidates just got a boost from "Elon Musk" as a result.

UPDATE: Elon is not amused.
