Elon Musk's Twitter feud over blue checkmarks.

TL;DR Summary
Elon Musk removed The New York Times' blue checkmark on Twitter after the publication announced they wouldn't pay the $1000 per month business fee for the new verification process. Musk voiced his disdain for the publication, calling their reporting "propaganda" and their Twitter feed the "equivalent of diarrhea." While this seems to be a push for more users to pay up with a subscription to Twitter Blue, the site hasn't fully implemented the policy, with some of The New York Times' other accounts still holding onto their verified status.
