“If you see impersonations that you believe violate Twitter’s stated impersonation policies, alert Twitter using Twitter’s public impersonation portal,” said the staff memo from White House official Rob Flaherty.Īlexander, the actor, said there are more significant issues in the world, but without the blue mark, “anyone can allege to be me,” so if he loses it, he’s gone. So while Twitter has granted a free gray mark for President Joe Biden and members of his Cabinet, lower-level staff won’t get Twitter Blue benefits unless they pay for it themselves.
While the cost of Twitter Blue subscriptions might seem like nothing for Twitter’s most famous commentators, celebrity users from basketball star LeBron James to Star Trek’s William Shatner have balked at joining, Seinfeld actor Jason Alexander pledged to leave the platform if Musk takes his blue check away.Īccording to a memo sent to staff, the White House is also passing on enrolling in premium accounts. Twitter does not verify the individual accounts to ensure they are who they say they are, as was the case with the previous blue check doled out to public figures and others during the platform’s pre-Musk administration.

The costs of keeping the check marks range from $8 a month for individual web users to a starting price of $1,000 monthly to verify an organization, plus $50 monthly for each affiliate or employee account.
Politico also will not offer to pay for its staff’s Twitter blue verifications, according to a memo sent to the team seen by Reuters.
