News organizations reject Elon Musk’s demand of paying to keep checkmarks on Twitter(CNN) — News organizations have a message for Elon Musk: We are not going to pay you for checkmarks on Twitter. Twitter announced last week that it will begin “removing legacy verified checkmarks” starting April 1. Musk earlier this year launched Twitter Blue, a subscription service that costs $8 a month. BuzzFeed also told staffers at BuzzFeed News and HuffPost that it will not pay for them to retain their checkmarks on Twitter. POLITICO additionally said it will not pay for Twitter Blue.
