Elon Musk getting rid of legacy blue checkmarks (not counting the few Musk is personally paying to keep) has caused quite a triggering.
One of the more dramatic blue check removal meltdowns came courtesy of Bette Midler who doesn’t at all seem to be happy with what Elon Musk has done with the platform. Life among the peasants seems to be problematic:
Elon, deciding that I’m not me, I’m a fake, & obliging ME, who has contributed mightily to your platform, (at least until you “tweaked the algorithm & tanked my metrics”) to pay monthly because you don’t have enough money & you’re humiliated b/c everyone thinks you’re a pathetic

“ME, who has contributed mightily to your platform.”
Shakespearian!
But wait, there’s more:
Elon took my blue check away! I’m unverified! After all these years and thousands of tweets and free content, this worm has the nerve to de-certify me!

“Equity” at last!
This is one of the greatest meltdowns in Twitter history.
She can not get over how anyone would have the gall to treat her like a regular person. https://t.co/9K9spdZyPt

This shouldn’t be as funny as it is, and yet here we are.
