Athletes from a variety of sports have come out against Twitter’s CEO Elon Musk’s plan to dissolve legacy verification for users who aren’t subscribed to “Twitter Blue.” That includes Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, who boasts 2.4 million followers on Twitter and says he won’t be paying $8 for his own or anyone else’s verification.
Mahomes tweeted out on Friday asking when Twitter was taking away the verification checkmarks. The answer is sometime beginning in April, potentially tomorrow, Saturday, April 1.
