Celebrities Whine Over Twitter Blue Check Mark Removal

Elon took my blue check away! I’m unverified! After all these years and thousands of tweets and free content, this worm has the nerve to de-certify me!

douche, is the funniest thing you’ve ever done. Let that sink in. Sorry to hear about your rocket.

So by revoking my blue check mark because I wouldn’t pay some arbitrary fee, someone can just be me and say a bunch of bullshit. Does that mean Twitter and @elonmusk are liable for defamation or identity theft or fraud?

Pay $8 and get your blue check back instead of whining. Quit acting like entitled elites. A verified Twitter account is not a God-given right.

I truly don't understand people getting upset and offended that their blue check was removed. Wasn't everyone's removed? It's not like it's personal. We now have to pay for the verification service to protect our identity - cool. What's the big deal?
