Who cares, though? I truly don’t understand this obsession with the blue checkmarks, and so far no one has actually explained it to me. Elon said he was getting rid of the “lords and peasants system” by allowing anyone to buy a blue check. Why does having one make you a “lord”? Why should I feel like a “peasant” for not having one? It doesn’t make sense to me.
