"I would NEVER pay for this": Celebs fume after Musk restores blue checks for "influential" users

Salon  

X, the platform formerly known as Twitter and currently headed by tech magnate Elon Musk, has seemingly restored blue check marks for a number of high-profile users. However, as of Wednesday, multiple X users deemed “influential members of the community” saw the reinstatement of their blue verification checks to their accounts despite not paying the monthly fee. Musk teased the new rollout of badges on March 27, tweeting, “Going forward, all 𝕏 accounts with over 2500 verified subscriber followers will get Premium features for free and accounts with over 5000 will get Premium+ for free.” The return of the blue checks came at the chagrin of several celebrities. I would NEVER pay for this,” “Community” and “Drake and Josh” actor Yvette Nicole Brown wrote on X.
