    From the original Intercept article:

    This article was updated to include information about a Twitter policy to temporarily remove checkmarks from verified accounts that change their profile pictures. Twitter offered only an auto-response to The Intercept’s request for comment ahead of publication. The article was previously updated to note that Twitter restored UAW’s Twitter verification after publication.

        Elon is a big bag of dicks, but it looks like Twitter is no longer replying with poop emojis. From the linked article:

        To a request for comment, X only sent Ars an auto-response, saying, “Busy now, please check back later.”
