This is a new twist that Musk announced last week, with a publication in which he said that accounts with more than 2,500 "verified subscriber followers" - a concept that he did not clarify and that generated confusion, according to the comments - would get free X paid services.

Twitter Blue
, or
X Premium
, a subscription model that allowed anyone to pay for the blue verification badge previously linked to the reliability and public interest.
That attempt to monetize the social network turned against Musk, since many users who had the badge, including media outlets and celebrities, said they were not willing to pay, and today, seeing their accounts adorned with that symbol, they took the opportunity to complain. and joke.
"What is this random blue badge that I haven't asked for or paid for?" wrote TV lawyer Katie Phang, to which actor Mark Hamill replied: "People, please don't judge me for my free blue badge." , while others considered it to be a return to the "original" function of the symbol.
