Despite King&#8217;s claims that he hasn&#8217;t paid the monthly fee, he remains verified and suggested that Musk donate his blue check to the Prytula Foundation, a charity that provides lifesaving services in Ukraine. Musk fired back, citing his $100M donation to Ukraine and questioning King&#8217;s charitable contributions. The feud began when King learned of Musk&#8217;s plan to charge a fee for verification, which he initially balked at. Musk countered with a lower fee of $8 per month, which he eventually implemented. As the &#8220;legacy&#8221; blue check marks began to disappear, King&#8217;s remained, prompting him to complain. Musk hinted that he may also be paying the fees for other celebrities to keep their blue checks. Who will come out on top in this battle of the blue checks?
