What Happened: Investor and noted Tesla bear Michael Burry shared on Twitter that he lost his verified Twitter blue check mark.

In a since deleted post, Burry highlighted that the last post he made while verified was about Musk.

“Interesting – my last tweet with a blue check mark was this one,” Burry said of a post highlighting that Elon Musk buying a controlling stake in Twitter would be good for America.

News of Burry losing his blue check mark prompted a response from Musk.

“You will get it back, even though you shorted Tesla, you bastard,” Musk said with a crying, laughing emoji.

Why It’s Important: Burry deleted his Twitter account in 2021 and now occasionally pops up from time to time to post something before disappearing.

Burry has over 690,000 followers, follows no one himself and deletes his tweets. This could be causing the Twitter algorithm thinking he is a bot.

Burry famously placed large bets against Tesla and Ark Innovation ETF (NYSE:ARKK), one of the largest Tesla owners. Burry and Musk have butted heads over the last few years due to the bet.

Price Action: Tesla shares closed the week at $1,025.49.
