TLDR at the bottom
So earlier today Elon tweeted 'check mate'. It seemed clever since he had removed the blue checks but many celebs lost their shit. One even claiming lives would be lost (still trying to re-find that to link it). Why was THAT blue check so important? It's only 8 bucks to get one. Why is this so devastating?
So why all the panicking? Could it be possible that these 'celebs' can't run their social media accounts? I am starting to think they can't verify who they are because they are already taken out. They can't verify who they are.Check mate means they are exposed. They aren't around. Who knows what other features were built into that original Twitter for blue checks. We know the FBI had comms. There were cahnnels and feeds specifically for certain groups. That came out in the first Twitter file set I believe where Dorsey and the nuts would communicate.
Maybe removing the blue check cuts off all back channel access these folks had. Who knows. It's just a theory but you have to wonder why the people were pissed that they lost their check mark when they could easily get it back for 8 bucks a month...
Further, Why is Elon paying for Shatner, King and Lebron James to keep that check mark? I have several theories such as they are going to use those accounts to keep an open line of communication with others who have access on the channels OR they are doing this as a COMM to let the DS know they have found something concerning these 3 accounts or the people associated.
And lastly it might be possible that they are going to use these accounts as controlled opposition. So if we start seeing these accounts slowly changing their minds and turn into red pilling accounts then we know they probably are controlled.
Just FYI info:
The verification process requires a phone number that is verified and then of course payment information for the subscription.

TLDR
The 'celebs' are panicking because they cannot verify themselves because it's not the celebs running the accounts because they are already out of the game so the DS has to keep them up in an attempt to hide the truth from the public and pretend they are still in control. With the verification that is no longer possible.
Had a friend who ran social media for a country music singer for awhile. She was on the record label payroll. Occasionally he would text her something that he wanted her to tweet, but most of it was her. He had his own private account with an alias.
This is probably pretty standard practice. ie Pierre Delecto.
Come to think of it… can you have more than one account in the TOS? Maybe this is the real reason they are pissed. They are losing the ability to tweet anonymously in addition to the great equalization that anyone can be verified? Ouch.
Maybe they don't want Musk having their phone number? If they're used to burner phones for nefarious reasons, he would be able to call to see if they still have their number. If not, blue check gone. Helpful for investigators.to track and trace.
The payment information might be hard to come by too.
Imagine all at once the DS has to start paying for hundreds if not thousands of accounts but set up phony accounts linked to the phony celeb.
Not impossible but a pretry nasty wrench in the machine i would guess.
If they paid on cards not linked to the celebs name the payment process would see that. It would also .see if one credit card was paying for hundreds of them.
Good point. This would really jam things up. The CIA has lost revenue streams like poppy fields and human trafficking, so paying for thousands of $8 accounts every month is not as easy as it would've been in the past. Also the payment method being traced to one card would be very problematic for them. Imagine that hitting the news and becoming a massive redpill.
