Everyone gave him too much of a pass on that. Like I've never understood how it was that he thought blue checks were just a status symbol being given away for free and not the company protecting its ass against a defamation suit, which was the whole reason they added the checkmark in the first place.

So I choose to believe he fired everyone who could have explained that to him before they could explain it, and he's just gone forward with that harebrained idea for the past several months now and maybe will only finally learn when the unverified (real) New York Times is scooped by fake news from the verified (fake but paid) New York Times.
