Elon Musk has admitted he is paying for some prominent Twitter accounts to retain their blue ticks, as the social media platform launched a cull that stripped verified status from many famous names including Beyoncé, Ronaldo and Paul McCartney.
On Thursday Musk pushed ahead with a long-threatened promise to strip the blue tick from about 400,000 legacy verified accounts unless they signed up to Blue, which costs upwards of $8 a month in the US, £9.60 in the UK and A$13 in Australia.
However, some official sites such as the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services account did not have a grey tick as of Friday morning.
Perks for Twitter Blue subscribers include the ability to edit tweets, write longer posts and see fewer adverts.
