Among celebrities, Twitter’s blue tick has become a symbol of status and legitimacy, signifying that their account has been verified as belonging to a public figure or influencer. However, as announced by Elon Musk after he took over Twitter that only users paying a monthly fee of Eight US dollars will have verified blue tick marks irrespective of celeb status. Several high-profile celebrities from both Bollywood and Hollywood had their blue ticks removed, causing quite a stir among fans and the media alike.
