"Unreadable propaganda" from the New York Times – Musk

Elon Musk has revoked the New York Times''verified' badge after it refused to pay for the privilege. The newspaper declared on Thursday that it would not pay the $1,000 per month required of businesses, or reimburse its employees for signing up for Twitter's $8 per month personal plan. The New York Times' @nytimes account lost its checkmark on Saturday, meaning its tweets will no longer show up in the 'for you' tab, the default timeline where Twitter users see content from accounts they follow. Musk suggested that the vanishing of Tweets from the Times would be no great loss for most users. The New York Times is one of a number of US newspapers and news outlets boycotting the paid verification system, and the White House is also refusing to pay for blue checkmarks for its staffers. Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion last October, promising a host of reforms that would roll back the platform's censorship policies and make it a "digital town square" for free and open debate.
