In his official Twitter announcement, Elon said that the final deadline for the Twitter Legacy Blue check marks is on Apr. 20.

"Final date for removing legacy Blue checks is 4/20," said the tech CEO. His Twitter post generated over 3 million views, 56,000 likes, and 5,500 retweets.

Of course, the reactions of Twitter users in the comment section are divided; some are positive, while others are negative.

Many fans of the billionaire agreed with his decision, saying that there are other people who faked their legacy check marks by paying the platform illegally.

On the other hand, other people shared their concerns, including @macaiyla, a legacy verified Twitter user.

She said that she heavily relies on her verified Twitter account to make a living. If it is removed, she would be forced to apply for other jobs.

As of writing, Elon Musk is still firm with his plan of removing the Twitter Legacy Blue checks on the platform.
