Elon Musk's Twitter Introduces New 'Official' Check Mark — And This One Is 'Not Available For Purchase'

Why It's Important: Since Musk announced that blue check marks would be monetized, there have been concerns that verification badges will no longer serve their original purpose, which is preventing impersonation, stated the report.
