I would guess the terms of X explain that X owns the account. They always say the author owns the data. So I suppose the gov't could take that? His old posts?
But definitely the government cannot keep X from removing the verification (since it is no longer one Alex Jones, and twitter accounts are supposed to be real (lol)). X could even ban the account. I would, on account of it being a sockpuppet hacked account.
I predict they won't actually be able to confiscate it because it's not even Alex Jones' property, and it has no inherent value.

Technically, if Alex isn't using it, it would be impersonation, so the account might get banned if they start using it.
