It looks like Elon Musk's X is returning blue checks to the platform's most popular users, and they're saying, thanks, but no thanks.
Overnight, Elon Musty's X, formerly Twitter, “gave away” premium memberships to some X users, notably those who promised never to pay for the subscription service that gave users the “blue check,” along with access to other premium features.
Musk confirmed in a post on the bootleg platform that this is happening, writing: “From now on, all 𝕏 accounts with more than 2500 verified followers will get Premium features for free, and accounts with over 5000 will get Premium+ for free.”
Those who have gotten the blue checkmarks on their names take to the platform to let their followers know that they are still 10 below their original stop and that they didn't give Bootleg Tony Stark money to get their checks back.
Nominated for an Acadmey Award actor Jeffrey Wright was one of those users who expressed that sentiment, sharing a screenshot of a notification from X that he was getting his free X Premium membership.
He captioned the post: “Pay $8? Banter. Help me. But don't say anything too freely about me or my garbage in the Garbage Tower of Babel.”

Actor Mark Hamill, aka our guy Luke Skywalker, responded to Brown's post, “I didn't pay when he left and I really didn't care. Then, out of nowhere, he mysteriously reappeared. #anything.”
Well, the sentiment remains thanks, but no thanks.
