“However, because the threshold of what defines ‘notable’ is otherwise too subjective, all individual users will have the same blue check mark,” he stated.

Musk originally intended his new verification mechanism to award a blue checkmark to everyone who signed up for Twitter Blue for $8 per month.

In one case, an Eli Lilly impostor tweeted, “insulin is now free,” prompting the corporation to apologise. After that, another Eli Lilly impostor apologised for the apology.
