The Grey Checkmark: Recognizing Government and Influential Figures
.
The prestigious grey checkmark on X is reserved for government officials, political leaders, and influential individuals who have made significant contributions to society. It establishes their authenticity, builds trust and credibility, amplifies their influence, signifies official recognition, provides access to direct communication, and attracts media attention. This verification symbolizes their significant roles and contributions to society, lending them a powerful platform to engage with their followers, shape public opinion, and contribute to meaningful conversations on X.
The grey checkmark indicates that an account represents a government/multilateral organization or a government/multilateral official. Eligibility criteria to receive a complimentary grey checkmark are listed below. Additional government and multilateral accounts can receive grey checkmarks through Verified Organizations.
Eligible government organizations at the national level may include: Main executive office accounts, agency accounts overseeing specific areas of policy, main embassy and consulate accounts, and parliamentary or equivalent institutional and committee accounts. Eligible government organizations at the state and local level include: Main executive office accounts and main agency accounts overseeing crisis response, public safety, law enforcement, and regulatory issues.
Eligible government individuals may include: Heads of state (presidents, monarchs and prime ministers), deputy heads of state (vice presidents, deputy prime ministers), national-level cabinet members or equivalent, the main official spokesperson for the executive branch or equivalent, and individual members of all chambers of the supranational or national congress, parliament, or equivalent.
Eligible multilateral organizations may include: the main headquarters-level, regional-level, and country-level institutional accounts. Eligible multilateral individuals include: The head and deputy-head or equivalent of the multilateral organization.
US only: Accounts of current US state governors and senior military leaders are also eligible.
I wonder why it changed today? Only Trump's changed, not Elon's, Vivek's, or RFK Jr.'s as they do not hold any position in government yet. But technically, neither does Trump. This seems notable.
I believe it does because there is a gray checkmark for both "Joe Biden" and "President Biden" accounts. There is also a gray checkmark for the "President Trump 45 Archived" account. So maybe another account will be created called "President Trump 47" with the handle @POTUS (like the President Biden's account currently has).
A variant of the Verified Organizations mark, this flavor of subscription badge signifies a government organization or official—or a multilateral institution like the United Nations.

Doesn't the POTUS account get transferred to DJT? Isnt that the right place for the grey mark?

What did Trump say about backdating his presidency to the 5th or 6th? I don't get it. Thanks.
It changed the other day (11-14-24), and Barack still has his. Still encouraging however.

Obama has his on his archived POTUS account which hasn't posted since 2017 but Obama's personal account is a blue check.
it will soon say 45 - 47 President of the United States of America
Dash instead of comma. Nice.
Two scoops, two terms, two presidential numbers ... What a fucking madman!!!

Well he's President Elect so what do you expect? What other announcement would be coming?
I found this:
Twitter check mark colors indicate the type of account and its verification status:
Blue checkmark
Indicates that the account is an active subscriber to X Premium and meets eligibility requirements. This could be an individual or an organization.
Gold checkmark
Indicates that the account is an official organization account through Verified Organizations.
Gray checkmark
Indicates that the account represents a government or multilateral organization or a government or multilateral official.
Is he saying there's no number 46?
I still remember the hand with a red ring after a US strike! Color coding is relevant in denoting rank!

Just to note it changed on 11/14/2024, not today as the X post claims.
17 is DATE, ELON is/was Q , Backdate 16 to 6 = 10 days
Don’t need a gay check mark to tell me my President is influential. Yawn.
