Elon Musk said Twitter is postponing its relaunch of the Twitter Blue verified checkmark service from Nov. 29 to Dec. 2, adding that the social media platform will also be rolling out gold and grey checks and that all verified marks will be manually authenticated.

“Gold check for companies, grey check for governments, blue for individuals (celebrities or not), and all verified accounts will be manually authenticated before check activates. Painful but necessary,” Musk said in a post on Twitter.
