Why It’s Important: In April this year, Elon Musk’s Twitter started taking away users’ legacy blue verified checkmark, but for some, the tech billionaire paid “personally.”

This included names like LeBron James and Stephen King, both of whom have vehemently opposed paying Twitter to get blue checkmarks. Taylor Swift and Rihanna were among the people who paid Musk $8 per month to keep their blue checkmarks.
