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.

@mmasnick @chancerydaily So, if I have a blue check and don't want a blue check, I'm stuck with a blue check that shows I want it.

Doc: *Yeah*.

And If I want to get rid of the check, to show I don't want it, I have to buy the check. Then once I have the check, I can get rid of the check.

Doc: *You got it*.

<long whistle>

Yosarian: Thats some check, that Check-Twenty-Blue

Doc: *Its the best there is!*
