Beyonce and Pope Francis lost their verified statuses on Twitter on Thursday. LeBron James and Stephen King had checkmarks.

“The Shining” author King tweeted: “My Twitter account indicates I’ve subscribed to Twitter Blue. I’ve not. I tweeted a phone number. I didn’t.”

“You’re welcome namaste,” Musk tweeted.

According to The Verge, James had not paid to preserve the check mark.

Musk also tweeted, “I’m paying for a few personally.” Later, he tweeted, “Just Shatner, LeBron and King,” referring to Star Trek star William Shatner, who grumbled about last month having to pay for his blue checkmark.

Donald Trump, Bill Gates, and Kim Kardashian lost their badges.

Twitter’s blue checkmarks, previously awarded to famous people, journalists, CEOs, politicians, and establishments following identity verification, have changed under Musk’s ownership. They authenticated.

Musk announced in November that Twitter would charge $8 per month for the badge to generate non-advertising revenue.

Later, the corporation supplied checkmarks in gold for enterprises and gray for government and multinational authorities.

It also labels accounts “state-affiliated” and “automated by” to indicate government affiliation or boyhood.

After Twitter called NPR “state-affiliated media” and “government-funded media,” it stopped posting on its 52 official Twitter streams.

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) suspended its Twitter activity and argued with Musk about Twitter’s definition of government-funded.
