TL;DR

William Shatner expressed frustration with Twitter's plan to remove blue checkmarks from accounts of high-profile individuals who don't pay for its subscription service, Twitter Blue. Elon Musk responded, saying it's about treating everyone equally. Twitter risks alienating some VIP users who have long been a key draw for millions to use the platform. Twitter said it will begin winding down the "legacy" blue checks for users on April 1.
