Today (April 20), Twitter implemented its most divisive change of the Elon Musk era when the company removed the verified blue checkmark from everyone’s profile unless they were Twitter Blue members. Naturally, this has caused a lot of misunderstanding and resentment among app users because it now makes it simpler for phony users to pose as actual people as long as they have $8 to spend on a tick. Roman Reigns, Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch, Sheamus, Brock Lesnar, Cody Rhodes, and other prominent WWE Superstars have all lost their verified status on Twitter.

Why did Elon Musk remove the blue ticks?
Twitter, controlled by Elon Musk, previously indicated that users with legacy verified accounts who did not pay for them would lose their blue ticks starting in April. After Tesla CEO Elon Musk acquired control of the social media behemoth, Twitter changed its rules regarding account verification.
The cost of blue ticks on Twitter
The cost of Twitter Blue varies depending on where you live and how you join up. Users of iOS or Android pay USD 11 per month or USD 114.99 per year, while web users pay USD 8 per month or USD 84 per year.
