“Verified golden for companies, verified Grey for governments, blue for individuals (celebrities or otherwise). Painful but necessary,” Musk said in a tweet.
All verified accounts will be manually authenticated before verification is activated, Musk said.
“Individuals may have a secondary lowercase logo to show they belong to an organization if verified as such by that organization,” Musk said in another tweet, adding he would provide a more detailed explanation next week.
The company had delayed its recently announced $8 blue check subscription service due to the growth of fake accounts, and said the sought-after subscription service will relaunch on Nov. 29.
The brand was previously reserved for verified accounts of politicians, famous personalities, journalists and other public figures.
