Elon Musk has posted that Twitter would debut its revamped Verified programme next Friday, with human authentication and different coloured check marks for different sorts of users. “Gold check for companies, grey check for government, blue for individuals (celebrity or not) and all verified accounts will be manually authenticated before check activates,” he said.
Previously, Musk claimed that Twitter will “probably use [a] different colour check for organisations than for individuals.” However, this is the first time he has stated what colours they would most likely be. It is unclear whether all verified users, including government and industry, would be required to pay the $8 per month Twitter Blue charge.
