Elon Musk granted complimentary Twitter subscriptions to LeBron James and other celebrities after removing “legacy” verified blue checkmarks from accounts.
Twitter has started getting rid of legacy blue checks for those who don’t pay up. Well, unless you’re LeBron James and a couple of other celebrities. The Verge has confirmed that an employee at Twitter recently emailed James, who has previously said he wouldn’t pay for verification, to “extend a complimentary subscription to Twitter Blue for your account, @kingjames, on behalf of Elon Musk.
Once you hover over the badge, it says that “this account is verified because they are subscribed to Twitter Blue and verified their phone number.” Stephen King, who is partially responsible for Twitter Blue not costing $20 per month, earlier said that he hasn’t subscribed to Twitter Blue or given the company his phone number. Later on Thursday, Musk posted a snarky tweet indicating that he’s covering King’s subscription.
