Twitter itself pre-Musk started killing the meaning of bluechecks back in 2017, where they officially changed their rules from "this person is who he says he is" to "this person is who he says he is, and is politically correct". It was a controversy at the time: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/11/twitt...

I'm amazed that people have already forgotten this.
