Many prolific Twitter commentators could soon be losing the blue check marks that helped verify their identity on the social media platform.

Lewinsky tweeted a screenshot Sunday of all the people impersonating her, including at least one who appears to have paid for a blue check mark. She asked, "what universe is this fair to people who can suffer consequences for being impersonated? a lie travels half way around the world before truth even gets out the door."

"I’ve been here for 15 years giving my & witty thoughts all for bupkis," he wrote. "Now you’re telling me that I have to pay for something you gave me for free?" For now, those who still have the blue check but apparently haven’t paid the premium fee — a group that includes Beyoncé, Stephen King, Barack and Michelle Obama, Taylor Swift, Tucker Carlson, Drake and Musk himself — have messages appended to their profile saying it is a "legacy verified account. It may or may not be notable."
