Twitter CEO Elon Musk claims that verified checkmarks are making an appearance again

.

Bottom Line: Elon Muss announced the latest version of Twitter’s verification process earlier this morning. The new system will roll out next Friday, with gold, gray and blue verification checks depending upon the type of account and user being verified. Musk stated that all accounts will be manually verified before the check can be activated.

The Twitter verification check is a complex dance that becomes harder to follow. It was there, then it was gone. It was then back for a fee, but only for a short time.

This morning’s tweet provides the first details about the new, color-coded verification systems. Musk followed with another tweet less than an hour later, further explaining the blue check’s role and the potential ability to include verified organizational affiliations. Musk promised a more detailed explanation next week, according to the follow-up tweet.

Musk was taken over, changed and plans to add verification fees were met with little support from the beginning.

The platform has seen a steady stream of users exit for other platforms that offer more features and innovation, such as Discord or Mastodon. Others have left the platform because they disagree with Musk’s practices or his direction for the social media giant. There’s no w
