The New York Times lost its verified status on Twitter Sunday, which appears to have happened only after Elon learned they weren't planning on paying $1,000/month for a gold checkmark.
has ordered his company, Twitter, to strip the New York Times of their verified checkmark effective immediately -- and it appears he targeted them out of pure spite.
The reason we know that is because EM himself commented on the state of the Times from his personal Twitter account, kinda crapping on them ... literally. He writes,"The real tragedy of @NYTimes is that their propaganda isn’t even interesting." "We also will not reimburse reporters for the verification of personal accounts," The NYT spokesperson adds to me, "except in rare instances where verified status would be essential for reporting purposes."They were far from the only media companies to say something similar, FWIW -- CNN, WaPo and the LA Times are planning to do the same thing ... AKA, not pay.
