Only Twitter accounts that are subscribed to Twitter Blue will receive the blue tick hereafter, as Elon Musk owned micro-blogging platform removed the legacy blue tick from the verified accounts across the world today. 

Even God, a popular parody page had to subscribe to Twitter Blue to retain the blue tick verification.

Unfortunately, the God of Cricket lost his blue tick today. 

And so did Alia Bhat, Virat Kohli, Amitab Bachan, Shah Rukh Khan and many others. 

Politicians from Coimbatore including Vanathi Srinivasan and SP Velumani too lost their blue ticks today.

Earlier, only people of reputation and importance were allowed to get Blue tick on Twitter, but to boost its revenue and increase power to the people, Twitter Blue was introduced at the end of 2022.

Rs.900 is charged for iOS and Android platforms per month. So to have the blue tick for a year, one user will have to spend Rs. 9,400, following a 12% discount.

But did you know that Elon Musk is personally paying for 3 people? Yes, he pays for Basketball Legend Lebron James, World-renowned leading author Stephen King and to Star Trek series icon William Shatner.
