Celebrities Refuse to Pay for Twitter Verification

Twitter CEO Elon Musk's latest creation, Twitter Blue, will remove verified checkmarks for any user who isn't subscribed to the service. Despite being able to afford the $8 per month fee, athletes like LeBron James and Patrick Mahomes have no interest in paying to keep their checkmarks. Notable companies and personalities will reportedly remain verified even if they aren't subscribed to Twitter Blue. Some celebrities may leave the platform if imposters become a significant issue among Twitter Blue subscribers.
