The domain of Twitter has gone through heavy changes ever since Elon Musk took over. The new CEO has set up new services that have left social media users divided. Several users expressed their frustration with the changes, and NFL star Micah Parsons was no different. The Cowboys LB vented his frustration on the changes brought forth by Musk.
Elon Musk might be one of the great minds of this century, but his Twitter takeover has led to widespread criticism. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO’s first moves as the boss of the social media platform were mega layoffs, introducing and scrapping new services, and the blue badge subscription plan. However, Micah Parsons does not seem to be happy with such changes.

LB Parsons seems to be on the conflicting side of the subscription plan, as he has to safeguard his verification badge for $8. He is the latest to criticize the billionaire, after many renowned personalities like Lynda Carter, Stephen King, Hank Green, Josh Gad, and more, vented out their frustrations. However, the Twitter CEO laughed it off and is sticking to his subscription plan.
Twitter Blue is now a paid monthly premium service that adds a blue checkbox to an account if the user wishes to opt-in. The subscription also granted priority access to specific new features, such as modifying Twitter posts. Micah Parsons seems to be unhappy with the new service.

This user thought Parson’s account is fake due to the two H’s in the username.
I thought this was a fake Micah because of how his usernames spelled “Micahh” 😂
