Elon Musk has implemented his decision and removed the blue checkmark from Twitter, affecting accounts of celebrities worldwide and in the Arab region. Accounts of well-known individuals appeared without the blue verification badge, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Mohamed Salah, the Pope, Lady Gaga, Donald Trump, Justin Bieber, Shakira, Kim Kardashian, and many others. The process also affected politicians in Lebanon, including the head of the Marada Movement, Suleiman Frangieh, the leader of the Lebanese Forces, Samir Geagea, and the head of the Free Patriotic Movement, Gebran Bassil. It is worth noting that the blue checkmark is now limited to those who pay $8 monthly for the subscription.
