This article will explore what Elon Musk said about blue ticks after their removal move and more about the reactions from Hollywood celebrities.
Twitter Removes Blue Ticks for Some Accounts
According to recent news reports, Twitter has removed blue ticks or verified badges from some accounts that were previously verified. This is because Twitter has updated its verification policy, and some accounts no longer meet the new verification criteria. Twitter has stated that it is removing blue ticks from accounts that have been inactive or incomplete for the past six months or more. This means that if an account has not been active or has incomplete information, Twitter will remove its blue tick.
Twitter has also stated that it will remove blue ticks from accounts that violate its policies, such as those that engage in hate speech or harassment. Twitter has said that it will take action against accounts that violate its policies, and the removal of blue ticks is one of the ways in which it will do so.
Elon Musk Comment on Blue Tick Removal
Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has recently commented on the removal of blue tick verifications on Twitter. After reports emerged that some celebrities had lost their blue tick verification, Musk tweeted that he would pay to keep the blue tick verification for a few people personally.
Musk’s tweet read, “Verified for the people! I will pay to keep the blue checkmark for any journalist [who] loses it and feeds the public.” This tweet sparked a debate on social media about the significance of blue tick verification and whether it truly represents credibility and influence on Twitter.
Several celebrities and public figures have lost their blue tick verification on Twitter due to the platform’s updated criteria for verification. This has caused concern among some users about the impact it may have on their online presence and reputation. However, Musk’s offer to personally pay for blue tick verification for a few people has also raised questions about the fairness and objectivity of the verification process.
Hollywood’s reaction over Blue Tick Removal
The article from People reports on the reactions of some Hollywood celebrities who have recently lost their blue tick verification on Twitter. According to the article, celebrities such as Julianne Moore, Naomi Watts, and Jessica Chastain have lost their “blue tick” verification on Twitter due to the platform’s updated criteria for verification. The article notes that losing the “blue tick” verification can be a setback for celebrities and public figures who rely on social media to connect with their fans and promote their work.
The article also includes reactions from some celebrities on social media. Actress Jessica Chastain tweeted, “Goodbye blue check.” Hello, accountability.” Director Ava DuVernay tweeted, “Never needed a blue checkmark to speak truth to power.” “If Twitter’s for verifying authenticity, that should be enough.” These tweets suggest that while losing the blue tick verification may be a setback, it does not diminish the impact or influence of these celebrities on social media.
Although basketball player LeBron James and author Stephen King had publicly announced that they would not sign up for the Twitter Blue subscription service, they both retained their blue checkmarks. It was later revealed that the CEO of the company was “personally paying” for the Twitter Blue subscriptions of some celebrities to keep their checkmarks.
Stephen King tweeted about his confusion over his account showing that he had subscribed to Twitter Blue and given a phone number, even though he had not. In response, Elon Musk tweeted, “You’re welcome namaste” with a folding hand emoji.
How to Get Verified on Twitter
Twitter has a tight verification requirement, making it difficult to become verified there. Accounts belonging to public figures, celebrities, politicians, and journalists are among those that Twitter confirms as being in the public interest. Users must fulfill specific requirements in order to be verified. For instance, the user’s account needs to be active, have a header image, bio, and profile photo, and have been active for at least six months.
The account must have a confirmed email address and phone number, and it must not have violated any Twitter policies, such as those that prohibit hate speech or harassment. The account must also have a significant following and a high engagement rate.
A person can submit a verification request form on Twitter to request verification if they meet these criteria. The form requires users to provide their personal information, a government-issued ID card or passport as proof of identity, and connections to their websites or other social media profiles.
Following submission, Twitter will consider the request and inform users of its decision. Users will see a blue checkmark or verified badge on their Twitter profile if the application is approved.
