The Verge: LeBron James didn’t pay for his Twitter checkmark, but Elon Musk gave it to him anyway. “Twitter has started getting rid of legacy blue checks for those who don’t pay up. Well, unless you’re LeBron James and a couple of other celebrities. The Verge has confirmed that an employee at Twitter recently emailed James, who has previously said he wouldn’t pay for verification, to ‘extend a complimentary subscription to Twitter Blue for your account, @kingjames, on behalf of Elon Musk.'”
