Elon Musk is not beating around the bush when it comes to the changes he’s making to the verification system. Just two days after his historic Twitter purchase, the billionaire announced that “the whole verification process is being revamped right now.” In a new tweet on November 10, Musk replied to someone reaching out to him on Twitter in regard to a peculiar problem, and in the process, he revealed what’s coming for verified accounts.
The Twitter user asked Musk directly to fix “a glitch.” Apparently, previously verified users who are now also verified through Twitter Blue lose their proper verification status. At the moment, if you see someone with the coveted blue checkmark, you can see whether they got it from their Blue subscription or if it was awarded through actual verification. This user had earned their badge before, but now with Twitter Blue, the checkmark proclaims that they are verified because they signed up for the subscription.
To that end, Musk gave a short reply. According to the Twitter CEO, there are too many “corrupt” legacy verification checkmarks. As such, Musk plans to remove these legacy checkmarks in the coming months. Does that mean all previously-verified accounts will suddenly lose their verification unless they shell out some cash on Twitter Blue? No one knows anymore, but one thing is for sure — these last two weeks on Twitter have been a wild ride.
