The Chief Executive Officer of Twitter, Elon Musk, has announced the final date to remove free verified Twitter accounts.
Elon Musk disclosed this via his Twitter account, @Elonmusk, on Tuesday.
He tweeted, “Final date for removing legacy Blue checks is 4/20.”
Before he took over as the CEO, verified Twitter users do not pay to get verified nor pay for a monthly subscription to renew their verifications.
Earlier, Twitter had announced April 1, 2023, as the date it would begin the removal of all legacy blue checks
“On April 1st, we will begin winding down our legacy verified program and removing legacy verified checkmarks. To keep your blue checkmark on Twitter, individuals can sign up for Twitter Blue,” the company stated in March via a tweet that was accompanied by links to subscribe to the premium program.
The only accounts that will keep their blue checkmarks according to Musk are those subscribed to Twitter blue, Twitter’s subscription service.
