Twitter CEO Elon Musk removed The New York Times' blue verification check mark, and he called the outlet "propaganda."

One user pointed out to Musk on Sunday that the Times still had a blue check mark even after the social media company had planned to start removing the blue check marks by April 1 if users were not paying $8 a month or organizations were not paying $1,000 a month. 

"Oh ok, we’ll take it off then," Musk replied to the post.

The Times had its blue check mark removed, and Musk tweeted, "The real tragedy of @NYTimes is that their propaganda isn’t even interesting."

He also called the August newspaper's feed "the Twitter equivalent of diarrhea. It’s unreadable. They would have far more real followers if they only posted their top articles. Same applies to all publications."
