Elon Musk appears to have finally settled on a new verification system. According to tweets posted over the weekend, the new system will feature a variety of checkmarks for individuals; companies, and then governments. Gold will go to companies, grey will go to governments, and blue will go to people (celebs or not.) The new system will also feature manual verification and authentication of all checkmark subscriptions before they actually go live.
Sorry for the delay, we’re tentatively launching Verified on Friday next week.

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.
Painful, but necessary.
