So, as @chancerydaily points out, legacy blue checks who don't want the blue checks are currently stuck with the blue checks and Musk is implying they may be paying.

And the only way to hide the blue check is if you actually do pay, where you will soon get an option to hide the fact that you pay.

This truly is the dumbest timeline.

So the question for @Popehat : if this situation persists past their self-imposed deadline, is this defamation by implication? Since it implies you were dumb enough to pay and you can’t get rid of it?
