Months after winning his second Super Bowl and Super Bowl MVP trophies in Phoenix, Patrick Mahomes was in for a rude social media awakening. Tesla founder Elon Musk changed the landscape of Twitter, ever since taking over the company last year. And his latest move was the abolition of the free blue check mark. Users can now get their verification badge back by paying $8 for Twitter Blue. And most weren’t willing to pay.
“Can’t bro, I have kids,” PM15 jokingly replied to Chiefs’ wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Patrick was visibly affected by this move. “Let me get my blue check back,” Mahomes tweeted with a few laughing emojis this week. And Elon Musk couldn’t say no to the generational QB talent. Pat got his badge back without paying for it. “Appreciate it,” Mahomes retweeted.
