If you've been on Twitter recently, you've most likely noticed that verified accounts were unable to tweet for a couple of hours.
That's due to many high-profile accounts — including those of Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Joe Biden, Elon Musk, Apple, and Uber — being hacked. To take proper precautions, Twitter temporarily blocked verified accounts from tweeting; they could only like and retweet tweets from other accounts.
Those who aren't verified were absolutely having a field day with this and wrote hilarious tweets about the situation. Here are the funniest tweets about verified accounts temporarily losing their power to tweet:
