Elon Musk has ordered Twitter, to strip the New York Times of their verified checkmark effective immediately.
New York Times lost its blue/gold checkmark Sunday which guaranteed verification and authenticated the account as a legit news organization.
The reason is unknown as Musk himself commented on the state of the Times from his personal Twitter account, kinda crapping on them.
He wrote, “The real tragedy of @NYTimes is that their propaganda isn’t even interesting.”
Elon adds, “Also, their feed is the Twitter equivalent of diarrhea. It’s unreadable. They would have far more real followers if they only posted their top articles. Same applies to all publications.”
The Times is the only major legacy news company to lose its check so far.
