On 4/20, Elon Musk finally took away legacy blue check marks for people who weren't paying $8 a month to be verified.
That included a whole buncha celebs, and here's how they reacted...
1. Halle Berry:
😂😂
2. Wiz Khalifa:
3. Charli XCX:
unverified is giving cunt
4. Nicki Minaj:
5. Joseph Gordon-Levitt:
So if I don’t pay for a blue check mark (which I won’t), then can anybody just pay $8 to call themselves me with a “verified” account? Cool.
6. Suki Waterhouse:
7. Bette Midler:
Elon took my blue check away! I’m unverified! After all these years and thousands of tweets and free content, this worm has the nerve to de-certify me!
8. Shangela:
9. Lynda Carter:
No blue check mark? Okay, we’ll settle this the old-fashioned way.
10. Grover:
My cute adorable blue checkmark is now gone, but I, your cute adorable blue monster, am still here!
11. Elmo:
Elmo will miss you, little blue check mark. But don’t worry everybody, Elmo is still Elmo! ❤️
12. Cookie Monster:
13. Ciara:
Blue check or no check… I know my fans still checkin. ❤️
14. Leann Rimes Cibrian:
bye bye #bluecheck i’ve already paid enough in this lifetime to be “verified.” #authenticasshit
15. Kevin McHale:
Feels right to lose the check mark on the 5 year anniversary of me (accidentally) coming out on twitter. Happy 420 homos.
16. Jack Quaid:
No blue check but this is me. Don’t fall for imposters. Remember I have a 92 at the end of my handle. @ Jack Quaid was taken by someone impersonating me in 2011. It was the whole reason I got a twitter in the 1st place. If only there was some sort of… free verification system…
17. Lil Nas X:
me after i lose my blue check tomorrow
18. The Blue Man Group:
19. Dionne Warwick:
My latte this morning was wonderful. https://t.co/f3roroXxP4
20. Rachel Zegler:
21. Ben Stiller:
No blue check, still feel like me.
22. Alyssa Milano:
23. Lauren Jauregui:
This is now my proof of verification✨ thank you 😂
24. Ariana Grande's mom, Joan Grande:
25. Henry Winkler:
He lost a really big rocket .. we lost a check mark
26. Dan Rather:
Tucker Carlson has a blue check. So does Sean Hannity and Elon Musk. The NAACP and NY Times don’t. I’m more than good being one of the latter.
27. The American Museum of Natural History:
Who needs a blue check when you have a BLUE WHALE?
28. And last but not least, Ice T who still has his check...
Hey. Maybe it’ll disappear soon.. F it.
...because Elon is personally paying for some.
And now we have another update!
