Elon Musk took time out from the ‘rapid unscheduled disassembly’ of his latest rocket launch to remove people’s blue ticks on Twitter.
Previously a (mostly) reliable indicator that people really are who they say they are, celebrities were among the most high profile of people to lose their ticks (unless they’re prepared to pay for them).
And we mention this because some of them said farewell in particularly entertaining style, and here are 17 of the best.

Elon took my blue check away! I’m unverified! After all these years and thousands of tweets and free content, this worm has the nerve to de-certify me!

Elmo will miss you, little blue check mark. But don’t worry everybody, Elmo is still Elmo!

I am no longer verified, so I have no way of knowing if I am really me. I'm just going to have to look at myself in the mirror before I log on & say "ARE YOU A ROBOT? ARE YOU? JUST TELL ME!"

The Lost Tick
Farewell tick, I am deflated,
And must go unvalidated,
On the scrapheap now, a dud,
But ticks are known to suck the blood,
To be a somebody is nice,
But eight quid is too high a price.— Pam Ayres MBE (@PamAyres) April 21, 2023

Fucking devastated without my blue check. Accosting civilians in the road demanding “DID YOU SEE ME IN ‘TOM & JERRY?’ OR PERHAPS “FAST & FURIOUS PRESENTS ‘HOBBS & SHAW’??”
