Elon Musk causes New York Times to lose Twitter verification badge.

Elon Musk criticized the New York Times on Twitter after the publication lost its blue verification badge on the platform. Musk called the Times' feed "unreadable" and suggested that it would have more real followers if it only posted its top articles. Twitter recently announced that it would start removing "legacy" verified blue checks from users who aren't paying for them, and to keep their blue verified checks, users will need to subscribe to Twitter Blue, the platform's $8 per month subscription service. The Times, along with other news organizations and high-profile Twitter users, has decided against paying for the check-mark.
