Twitter's Blue Check Drama: Celebrities, Elon Musk, and Merriam-Webster Clash.

Twitter is discontinuing legacy verifications and introducing a new system where users can buy their blue checkmarks for $8/month through Twitter Blue subscriptions. Many verified celebrities are unhappy about the change and have taken to social media to express their grievances. However, Elon Musk has pointed users towards Twitter's Verified Organizations system to ensure companies and notable entities stay verified on the platform. It remains to be seen how this change will affect individual users and journalists.
