In recent news, VIP Twitter users woke up on Saturday to some unexpected changes regarding their blue verification check marks due to a previously announced purge by Elon Musk. The changes seem to have targeted a single account from a major publication that Musk has a dislike for, and the site’s language obscured why users are verified.
Twitter had announced that it would start phasing out blue checks granted under its old verification system, which mainly aimed at safeguarding high-profile users from impersonation. Musk stated that users would now have to participate in the Twitter Blue subscription service and pay $8 per month to remain verified, a feature that has been available since December.
Over the weekend, most legacy blue check holders found that their verification marks had not disappeared but were updated with a new label stating, “This account is verified because it’s subscribed to Twitter Blue or is a legacy verified account.” This revision makes it unclear if verified accounts consist of notable individuals or just users who have paid for Twitter Blue.
However, a high-profile account, the main account for the New York Times, did lose its blue check this weekend. Musk responded to a meme posted by an account critical of the Times’ decision not to pay for verification by stating, “Oh ok, we’ll take it off then.” The incident led to Musk criticizing the Times for its coverage.

The situation with the New York Times’ blue check highlights the confusion surrounding Twitter’s feature changes, impacting the platform’s most high-profile accounts. It also showcases how Musk’s influence seems to drive platform decisions more by whims than by policy.
As the New York Times’ main account lost its blue check, the verification status of its subsidiary accounts remained intact. The event prompted a spokesperson for the New York Times to reiterate their stance of not intending to pay for verification.
In another peculiar turn of events, Twitter replaced its blue bird logo with doge, the meme representing the cryptocurrency dogecoin, a move that Musk has endorsed. Following the logo change, the price of dogecoin surged 20%.
