Twitter's Blue Check Mark System Under Fire After Elon Musk's Controversial Actions.

Twitter's promised blue check mark purge did not happen as expected, with most legacy blue check holders finding their verification marks had not disappeared but had been appended with a new label. However, the New York Times' main account lost its blue check after a tweet from an account that often engages with Elon Musk posted a meme about the Times declining to pay for verification. Musk responded in a tweet saying, "Oh ok, we'll take it off then."
