The initial rollout of the change appeared to be fairly glitchy, as blue checks disappeared and reappeared on some accounts. A number of high-profile verified accounts also didn't seem to lose their checks, at least at first.
Twitter had previously said it would "begin winding down" blue checks granted under its old verification system - which emphasized protecting high-profile users at risk of impersonation - on April 1. In order to stay verified, Musk said, users would have to pay $8 per month to join the platform's Twitter Blue subscription service, which has allowed accounts to pay for verification since December.
Last week, Musk tweeted that the "final date for removing legacy Blue checks is 4/20," a date with special resonance to the billionaire entrepreneur given its meaning to marijuana enthusiasts. Prominent users such as actor William Shatner and anti-bullying activist Monica Lewinksy have previously pushed back against the idea that, as power users that draw attention to the site, they should have to pay for a feature that keeps them safe from impersonation.
