TL;DR

Twitter has updated the language in the description of verified users, making it unclear who is paying for the blue check-mark and who isn't. Previously, the verification badge for Twitter Blue subscribers had a different description. Twitter has also launched a program for businesses and organizations to charge $1,000 per month for verification badges. The New York Times had its gold verification badge removed after refusing to pay for verification, prompting a Twitter exchange with Elon Musk.
