"Elon Musk Sets 4/20 Deadline for Twitter's Legacy Blue Checks Removal"

Elon Musk tweeted that the final date for removing legacy blue check-marks from Twitter accounts that aren't paying for verification is 4/20, but it's unclear if it's a joke or not. Twitter previously announced that it would begin removing blue check-marks from legacy verified accounts unless users have signed up for Twitter Blue, which starts at $8 per month. Musk is making the switch to paid verification to generate revenue for Twitter, but some celebs have said they won't pay for it. Musk has claimed that granting Twitter verified status to any paying user is "more about treating everyone equally."
