Several other famous athletes still have their check marks as of Thursday, most notably Tom Brady, Mike Trout and Novak Djokovic, but it's not confirmed whether Musk covered those accounts or the athletes' social teams just paid for the check.Īnyway, James has much more significant things to worry about right now. LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Boston Celtics on Saturday in a game that went to overtime, thanks largely to a missed foul call in the final. Musk shouldn't want that, even if it means admitting to himself that many of his most famous users aren't interested in what he's selling. But if people who already have status begin to reject the label as a sign of fealty to an internet-addicted billionaire, well, then the check becomes a symbol of another kind of status. However, while being anti-LeBron James seems silly at this point, it can provide some excellent entertainment in the form of awful memes. Twitter wants its blue checks to remain the tenuous status symbol they were under previous leadership, just one that people pay for. Musk and Twitter deciding it was in their best interest to keep certain accounts verified always seemed like the most likely explanation, as it aligns with their goal in the first place. Of course since Dogecoin was a meme coin most of Musks tweets were somewhat. LeBron James is still verified on Twitter, somehow. de 2022 Twitter or Twizzle hasnt been going.
