Twitter's 'legacy' verified check marks to be removed on 4/20, but skepticism remains.

TL;DR Summary
Elon Musk has confirmed that the final deadline for Twitter to remove 'legacy' blue ticks will be April 20, 2023, and the only way to keep the tick after then is to subscribe to Twitter Blue. The blue tick on Twitter used to indicate an account that was notable or authentic, but under Musk's ownership, the blue tick means an account holder is paying for its subscription service Twitter Blue. Musk has also rolled out new gold and grey ticks to indicate verified businesses and government bodies, respectively, and is charging £1,000 per month for them.
