Gonna take these kinds of stories with a pinch of salt and wait a few months to see what happens. A lot of journalists are extremely unhappy with Musk atm so there will be many many negative articles written, even if the evidence is dubious. Even odds the "three people who are close to the matter" are wrong.

The real story is how vindictive journalists have been just because he was going to lower the value of their bluecheck marks.

  No one other than Musk and a small cohort of very online conservatives actually care about the blue checks.

  Do you have any actual examples of this? Because all the journalists I've seen on this topic have gone to great lengths to point out that for them the bluecheck wasn't a status symbol - it was a feature for twitters users to know who was verified. Swisher has ranted about this a few times - she couldn't give a shit about her bluecheck it's valuable to twitter, not her, and she was supportive of Musk until the homophobia.
