I heard of several people paying for blue to be able to edit tweets and such before Musk bought it.

I thought that making blue check marks purchasable was one of the first things Musk did at Twitter after firing everyone.

I don't know what it was called, but the purchasable blue check marks thing built off of an already existing service. It might have had a different name, I don't remember.
