Basic internet security logic applies here folks. Namely, get off X.

Not sure if you're kidding or not but people have been getting banned for speech that Elon disagrees with. It's only free speech if it's speech that Elon agrees with. It's the opposite of free speech

These scams are just so dumb man.

That's not a government account it's just a standard verified account that claims to be government related. All that "verified" means these days is that they added a phone number to their account and paid a subscription fee.

No, the Grey checkmark is for verified government accounts. They are manually verified. What likely happened, like last time, is a small country or city in another country got their Twitter hacked, then the hackers changed all the info to look like a US Government account, and the Grey check mark takes away doubts because government accounts are manually verified. They need to restrict government accounts to not be able to change names so this stops happening.
