The day Thursday, Twitter took the measure of removing the blue or verified tick from those users who had it but did not pay for it.
Elon Musk intended for these users to subscribe to Twitter Blue for a total of $8 per month to maintain this verification.
When this happened, many users disagreed when verification was removed, since verification works, among other things, to prevent the existence of fake accounts.
Given this, Elon Musk decided to choose to pay the subscription to some celebrities so that they keep the blue tick. Stephen KingFor example, he tweeted that he did not agree with this measure and preferred that Elon Musk donate that money to another cause.
However, in the last few hours, several celebrities and the media once again had the blue tick and stressed that this was not because they subscribed to Twitter Blue. Apparently, Twitter is returning the verified to some accounts.
