Musk announces gold, grey, blue badges for Twitter accounts

Elon Musk, the Twitter billionaire, announced on Friday that the social media site would introduce various colored badges to distinguish between accounts.

"Sorry for the delay, we‍‍`re tentatively launching Verified on Friday next week," Musk tweeted. 

"Gold check for companies, grey check for government, blue for individuals (celebrity or not) and all verified accounts will be manually authenticated before check activates."

Musk also wrote that all verified individual accounts would have the same blue check, but some would eventually be able to display a "secondary tiny logo showing they belong to an org(anization) if verified as such by that org(anization)".
