Musk says Twitter now requires a fee to have an associated check mark.

Under Musk’s leadership, Twitter users can apply for verification through Twitter Blue, a system for blue check marks that requires a fee from the person getting verified. The required amount is reportedly different based on if you’re a user or a business organization.

Meanwhile, Lamb of God guitarist Mark Morton, Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, and Shinedown’s Zach Myers are just a few of the musicians who have responded to the kerfuffle on Twitter.

Below, see those and several more rock and metal musicians’ reactions to the loss of the no-cost blue check mark verification on Twitter. Also included are reactions from some who’ve retained their checks.
