Twitter’s new owner, Elon Musk, said on Monday that “all legacy blue checks” will be removed “in a few months,” adding that the way they were given out was “corrupt and nonsensical.”
The blue badge is supposed to act as a mark of authenticity and is currently attached to the accounts of prominent people as defined by Twitter’s old guard.

Signups for Twitter Blue relaunched on Monday.
