Elon Musk taking over Twitter was one of the biggest news of 2022. Many expected dramatic changes to happen in the social platform and it surely did. But the actions that Musk took were confusing and quite problematic in the eyes of many. Hasan Piker is one of those people, and he has been constantly pointing out the actions that Musk takes regarding Twitter.
Now Piker has come forward making fun of Musk and called his actions ‘dumb’ following a new change that Twitter made to the checkmarks. That is, at present when someone checks the blue checkmarks of others, a confusing message pops up. The social platform no longer tells the users whether a person has subscribed to the checkmark, or if they are a legacy holder.
they straight up realized the only value of twitter blue is duping people into thinking it’s a legacy checkmark, AFTER elon said he was eliminating legacy blue checkmarks. elon is so fucking dumb lmao https://t.co/z7dJsxBPHC

HasanAbi mocked Twitter for making such a change in the platform. He stated that Twitter realized the value of blue checkmarks actually lies in duping people and making them think it’s a Legacy checkmark. He found it more hilarious as this new addition came just after Musk announced the changes that are coming to the checkmarks this April.
Musk wanted to make sure that the AI swarm in the platform is curbed with the removal of checkmarks. But according to Piker this new change that the platform brought is contrary to what he said.
Netizens join the debate, supporting Piker’s claims
Soon after Piker posted this on Twitter, many people came forward to take a dig at Elon Musk and his micro-blogging platform.
I mean…I don't care. The checkmarks have never meant anything to me
But it is funny AF to see Elon making a fool of himself over and over and over
Grifting in public is a skill Elon don't have

Amidst these, numerous people pointed out how to find the ‘bought’ and ‘acquired’ checkmarks to some extent. From the looks of it, things surely will take an interesting turn when Legacy marks are removed on April 14.
