In other words, the company, which started using two different badges, later canceled it because Elon Musk did not want it. However, this “official” badge was reactivated today. Most likely due to the increase in verified fake accounts on the platform Elon Musk even had to take a step back. This new badge is only truly authenticated government accounts, commercial companies, business partners, major media outlets, broadcasters and some famous people is given.
