Twitter Removes New York Times Verification Badge Amid Ongoing Feud With Owner Elon Musk

X removed the New York Times' verification badge amid complaints from owner Elon Musk about the news organization.

The badge removal extends Musk's attempts to undermine news organizations he dislikes after buying X.

Musk has repeatedly attacked the Times, claiming it supports "calls for genocide."

Traffic to the Times' website from X links has plunged 50% since August.

The badge removal makes it harder for users to identify official/authoritative accounts during major news events.
