‘Elon Musk Paid For It’ Thando Thabethe On Her Twitter Blue Checkmark Verification
Social media platform Twitter recently introduced a new subscription service called Twitter Blue.

However, media personality Thando Thabethe is one of the few celebrities who still has her blue checkmark verification, even after claiming that she did not pay for it. In a recent tweet, Thabethe claimed that Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, is the one who paid for her verification.
