Musk added "their feed is the Twitter equivalent of diarrhea. It’s unreadable. They would have far more real followers if they only posted their top articles."
Twitter had previously announced that from April 1 several Twitter accounts will lose the check marks as the social media company will begin winding down their legacy verified program.
