Twitter’s new subscription service, Twitter Blue, has caused a stir as users have to pay $8 per month to keep their verification blue checkmarks. However, three lucky celebrities were able to keep their blue checks without paying a dime, thanks to the generosity of Elon Musk.
Last week, renowned author Stephen King noticed that he still had his blue checkmark on his Twitter account, despite not subscribing to Twitter Blue. Musk quickly replied to King’s tweet, informing him that he was the reason he still had his checkmark. LeBron James was another celebrity who didn’t pay for his checkmark, but it remained, and Musk confirmed that he was paying for it.
