In a bid to sort out its verification system, Elon Musk has revealed that his plan for Twitter verification is undergoing another set of changes. Musk said in a tweet that starting on Friday (December 2), all verified accounts will be manually authenticated before the tick is activated, said Musk. “Gold check for companies, grey check for governments, blue for individuals (celebrities or not).”
Furthermore, Musk said that individuals can have a secondary tiny logo to show they belong to an organization if verified as such by that organization. It's unclear if Twitter will follow the same criteria as before to verify accounts or if it will be updated. He added a longer explanation would be provided next week.
