Twitter reactivates gray check mark for official accounts
After Elon Musk's much debated attempt at changing the Twitter accounts' verification system to a paid two-tier model, the CEO has decided to revert to the original gray check mark for verified accounts.
Musk made the announcement yesterday in a tweet, citing too many "corrupt legacy Blue 'verification' checkmarks" as the reason for removing them. Until yesterday, Twitter's blue checkmarks could be purchased for $7.99/month, leading users to set up fake accounts impersonating brands and people.

Just this week, Twitter product lead, Esther Crawford, had said the gray checks would return for “government and commercial entities to begin with”. Coca-Cola, Twitter, Wired, and Ars Technica are some of the brands that have regained their gray checkmarks on the social platform.
