Elon Musk kept his word. The era of legacy blue checkmarks has come to an end on Twitter. The move, however, has irked many. One of whom is Chris Messina, the inventor of hashtags as we currently use them. Messina, one of the first users of Twitter, has left the platform over Musk's decision. Messina is one of the people who were not ready to pay for the blue tick. As a result, he lost the checkmark.
