I was wondering why they were panicking about the damn checkmark but the main theory is that the majority of them obtained it via paying Twitter staff big bucks or via nepotism, Twitter had a pseudo black market for the badge that Elon just killed , that is why you sometimes see weird 0 follower accounts that had the badge or literal nobodies like Gazi kodzo with it

Edit: unconfirmed but apparently its a entire mafia between Meta and Twitter, if you had the cash you could get verified easily even without any followers, so the smug ass "influencers" are super furious because their little exclusive club is now open business and the plebs can get the mark of prestige too without paying 15k to a idiot in Twitter/Meta HQ
