<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york-times" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times</a> lost its <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a> verification badge this weekend.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Gray Lady,&#8221; as the newspaper is known, appears to be among the first accounts to lose its verified status as the social media platform turns to a paid-subscription model.</p>
<p>Twitter CEO <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a> chastised The New York Times in a pair of tweets overnight.</p>
<p>&#8220;The real tragedy of @NYTimes is that their propaganda isn’t even interesting,&#8221; he said, tagging the newspaper&#8217;s Twitter handle.</p>
<p>&#8220;Also, their feed is the Twitter equivalent of diarrhea,&#8221; Musk added. &#8220;It’s unreadable. They would have far more real followers if they only posted their top articles. Same applies to all publications.&#8221;</p>

<p>&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1642402646836297729?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 2, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Twitter said April 1 would be the date it would begin to wind down its legacy verified program and remove verified checkmarks.</p>
<p>Twitter still gives users the option to keep or obtain a verification badge by paying $8 a month for a Blue subscription. Musk has suggested that paid subscriptions <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/nov/01/musk-charging-twitter-verified-accounts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">would help Twitter</a> combat bots and trolls as well as help the social media platform pay its bills.</p>
<p>Twitter did <a href="https://twitter.com/verified/status/1639029459557679104?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1639029459557679104%7Ctwgr%5E6861709fec63323501276ea653ed873f403b0f6b%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reuters.com%2Fbusiness%2Fmedia-telecom%2Fnew-york-times-says-it-wont-pay-twitter-verified-check-marks-2023-04-02%2F" target="_blank" rel="noopener">share a link</a> for organizations to sign up for &#8220;Verified Organizations,&#8221; but a New York Times spokesperson told The Daily Wire that the newspaper is not planning to pay a monthly fee for verified status on its institutional accounts.</p>

<p>&#8220;We also will not reimburse reporters for Twitter Blue for personal accounts, except in rare instances where this status would be essential for reporting purposes,&#8221; the New York Times spokesperson added.</p>
