After Elon Musk Stripped Twitter Users of Blue Ticks, 250 Lbs Bodybuilding Beast Says It’s “Stupid” to Buy It

Elon Musk has caused an uproar in the Twitter world ever since he announced his plans to take down the verified badge from the accounts. Previously, the badge was given to popular entities to confirm their identities on the social media platform. While earlier the blue tick was given only to those figures who satisfied certain criteria laid by the website, with Musk’s new policy anyone can get the tick by paying a monthly fee of $8. Ever since the announcement many celebrities, including sports entities like Sergio Ramos and Nick Walker, have taken a jab at the idea.

Recently, through his Instagram Nick Walker subtly expressed his disapproval of the new policy. It happened when a fan brought the topic up before the bodybuilding beast. It was then that the 2022 Mr. Olympia‘s 2nd runner-up revealed how he found the entire ordeal to be.

Social media platforms are usually the most convenient place for celebrities to connect with their fans. Recently, Nick Walker used his Instagram to hold an interactive session with his fans. The Mutant answered some questions anonymously sent to him by the fans through his NGL (not gonna lie) link. Using the link fans could send their questions to him without worrying about revealing their identities.

Making use of the opportunity, one fan asked Walker, “Do you think people paying for verification is stupid?” Expressing his disapproval of the policy, Walker agreed, “Extremely it stupid.”. Well, Walker isn’t the first bodybuilder who has found himself in the middle of this debate. But, unlike Walker who stood his ground against the policy, a bodybuilding legend just went with the flow. However, he had his reasons to do so.

Arnold Schwarzenegger pays for the blue tick

Accepting Musk’s new Twitter policy, Arnold Schwarzenegger has retained his blue tick by paying the price for the subscription. This didn’t sit well with some fans who urged him to drop it instead. However, sticking to his decision, Schwarzenegger tried to reason that he is ready to pay for it because it facilitates his informative video content in reaching the masses.

Not convinced with his answer, another fan condescendingly argued that “only woke and stupid leftists are raging” about the verified status. Not agreeing with their thoughts, Schwarzenegger emphasized that not everything is political. Implying, that the political angle is just another stereotype of the situation to fit one’s own ideologies.
