Summary by Ground News

Jesus said they had been trying to get the irreverent account verified for a while but couldnt until the existing policy changed. “I've applied for verification before and been rejected, but when Elon Musk changed the verification rules and you could subscribe to Twitter Blue and buy a verified check, I knew it was finally my time.” He started the account back in 2006 and has more than 791,000 followers. "I'm not religious myself. I just want to bring some joy and laughter to the Twitter universe," he says.
