TL;DR Summary

Elon Musk has reiterated that legacy blue checkmarks on Twitter will be removed on April 1, but it's unclear if this is an April Fools' Day prank or not. Twitter has not commented on the matter. The move comes at a time when Twitter Blue, which allows users to pay for authentication, is reportedly not doing well financially or in the public eye. Twitter is experimenting with allowing users to hide the blue checkmark they pay $8 per month to rent.
