It shouldn't be a status symbol, but a useful utility instead.

Now it's neither. Worst of both worlds.

Only someone who is an idiot who doesn't understand how Twitter works thinks it was a status symbol.

Elon Musk thought it was a status symbol. See my first sentence.

Its purpose was to let tweet readers know they were reading a verified account. That's it.
