For months now, Elon Musk has been threatening to take away the verified, the famous and coveted blue check<\/a>. I speak in first person because I was one of those verified. Until yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n

After an initial threat earlier this month, Elon Musk decided that yesterday, April 20, 2023, would be the day of reckoning for all those verified who did not pay Twitter Blue<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After several failed attempts, Twitter on Thursday began to make good on its promise to remove Blue checks from accounts that do not pay a monthly fee to maintain them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final date for removing legacy Blue checks is 4\/20<\/p>— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 11, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote>
