Elon Musk is under fire for alleged censorship after 14 conservative accounts on X claimed their blue ticks were revoked. These accounts had criticized Musk's pro-immigration stance, with the billionaire calling anti-immigration Republicans "contemptible fools" and "racists." Losing the verification badge has hindered these users' ability to monetize their accounts.
