Manchester City duo Riyad Mahrez and Aymeric Laporte hit out at “crazy dude” Elon Musk and his “weird ideas” after seeing their blue ticks on Twitter disappear.
The American social media platform made the announcement a few months ago that ‘legacy’ verification ticks would be disappearing, pushing users to Musk’s controversial Twitter Blue subscription. Those ticks started being stripped from a variety of accounts on Thursday.
Amongst those hit were a vast array of prominent Premier League stars including reigning champions Mahrez and Laporte. The Algerian winger hit out at Musk for his decision to charge users for verification going forwards.
