Elon Musk's Twitter Power Play: New York Times Loses Verification

The New York Times lost its Twitter verification badge after it said it would not pay the monthly fee to keep it. Elon Musk, CEO of Twitter, criticized the Times and called it "propaganda." Twitter had said it would begin removing verification badges as of April 1, but users who paid for the company's Twitter Blue subscription service could continue to receive the badge. The Times had said it would not pay for the subscription. Several other major news outlets, including The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and CNN, had also said they wouldn't subscribe.
