Is Twitter offering free blue ticks to users with over 1 million followers?

Celebrities, politicians, and athletes have all lost their blue ticks since Elon Musk decided that the microblogging site Twitter would only offer the blue tick to users who subscribed to Twitter Blue. Twitter appears to have made some exceptions, as users with over a million followers are now receiving a blue tick for free.

Hasanabi, a Twitter user, stated that he received a blue tick but has no idea how he obtained the Twitter Blue. “I have no idea how this happened, I absolutely did not buy Twitter Blue,” he tweeted. He also stated that those who purchased it should feel bad because Elon Musk will buy it for you if you talk long enough.

Rachell Valkyrae Hofstetter, co-owner of 100 Thieves, received a blue tick as well, but she stated that she has not paid for verification or provided her phone number. On Sunday, she tweeted, “I didn’t pay for verification or verify my number lol… Twitter is lying.” Valkyrae stated on April 21 that she was unverified, but she now appears to have regained her blue tick.
