Elon Musk Reveals He’s ‘Personally’ Paying For 3 Celebs To Keep Their Blue Checks On Twitter

So, I just read this crazy article about Elon Musk and his Twitter habits. Essentially, he’s paying out of pocket to keep three celebrities’ blue checkmarks on Twitter! Apparently, having that little blue check next to your name is a big deal to some people.

From what I gathered, these celebs weren’t meeting Twitter’s verification requirements anymore, but Elon stepped in and paid the difference to keep them verified. It’s wild to think that someone as busy and influential as Elon Musk would take the time and money to do something like this.

Personally, I think social media validation has gotten a little out of hand. I mean, I love getting likes and retweets as much as the next person, but why do we put so much stock in these little symbols of approval? Is having a blue checkmark really worth Elon Musk’s time and money?

Overall, this article is a reminder of the strange ways social media has evolved and how far some people will go to stay relevant online. It’s definitely an interesting read if you’re into the weird world of Twitter verification.
