A verified fake LeBron James tweet -- which claimed the Lakers star was requesting a trade -- made rounds on Twitter shortly after Elon Musk rolled out paid blue checks.
The bird app's new subscription feature already has the trolls running wild ... and King James was the first to fall victim to the antics.
An account named @kIngjamez tried to pull a quick one shortly after the verification party got started ... saying,"I am officially requesting a trade." "Thank you #LakersNation for all the support through the years. 💯 Onto bigger and better things! 👑 #ThekidfromAKRON #ImComingHome."Here's the issue -- If folks didn't notice the misspelling handle or click on the check mark to read WHY the account is verified, they were led to believe #6 was going back to the 216.Elon's decision to give any Twitter Blue subscribers a blue check without any vetting had people concerned for this exact reason ...
The new Twitter head defended his decision ... explaining it was a way for the company to make money.
