The continuing saga of Twitter and its bluecheckmark has taken a bizarre twist as it seems that a number of deal celebrities are now paying for TwitterBlue.
On the orders of new owner Elon Musk, Twitter last week started removing blue check marks from accounts that have not signed up to Twitter Blue, its premium tier.
Related Many famous folks have refused to do this and so last week they lost their blue marks. But then some weird stuff started to happen. “I’m paying for a few personally,” Twitter’s boss tweeted when the blue checks started showing up on accounts that hadn’t paid for them. Musk tweeted later: “A troll, me??”, together with a laughing emoji.
The deceased “Blue subscribers” include the likes of celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain, who died in 2018, and basketball legend Kobe Bryant, who died in 2020.
