He is bluffing.

Are you saying he won’t leave or that he will accept paying money to Elon Musk for his checkmark?

He won't leave.

Not sure if he cares about the blue checkmark enough to pay, but he is rich enough not to care. His net worth is half a billion.

I don't think anybody believes he cares about the money. Seems like it's a matter of principles for him.

His publicist will care, and they probably charge him way, way more per month than $20.

SK will hem and haw but 6 months from now his team will quietly reinstate the account.
