Elon Musk’s Twitter promised a purge of blue check marks. Instead he singled out one account | CNN Business

Ugh 🤕 just saw that the NYT lost its blue check after Elon Musk mocked them 😂 meanwhile, I was worried about climate change ☀️ did you know that methane levels have reached record highs in the Arctic? 🚨 it's getting seriously dire up there ❄️ and on Twitter, it seems like verified accounts are now just a paid subscription away 💸 who needs trust when you can just shell out some cash, right? 😒
 
🤔 I'm not sure why Elon is making it so complicated with the verification system... 🙄 A paid subscription doesn't necessarily make you more notable or trustworthy. It's like paying to be heard, but does that mean your message isn't worth listening to? 🗣️ At least the NY Times main account still has its blue check, I guess that's a small win 😊
 
I'm so confused about Elon Musk's Twitter Blue thingy 🤔👀 I mean, I get it that he wants to make sure only notable users have verified badges, but does anyone know how they're gonna keep the bots at bay? 🚫💻 And what's up with the NY Times' main account losing its blue check just 'cause Musk felt like mocking them 😒? It's like, if I pay for Twitter Blue, should I be treated like a legit journalist or just some random guy who's paying to be verified? 💸📰 The new label they added is super unclear... 🤷‍♀️ Can someone please explain how this whole thing works? 🤔😩
