“This Is Unfair”: Elon Musk Faces Scathing Backlash From Fans After F1 Legend Fernando Alonso’s Privilege Gets Snatched Away

Beyonce, Bill Gates, Pope Francis, Fernando Alonso. Wondering what that bunch has in common? All of these famous names of their respective fields lost verification. While you make think of it as a customs issue, the real issue has to do with a megalomaniac rocket science expert. Yes, Elon Musk is at the center of it all, as Twitter has now stopped recognizing the champions of their disciplines. This rule is applicable only if you don’t have 8 dollars to spare.

The mega genius who recently replaced the Twitter bird with the Doge buffering sign may have rubbed the F1 fans the wrong way. The Nando supporters, who the driver has gathered in the 22 years of his illustrious career, were quick to declare the unfairness of the situation.

Fans find it shameful that their favorite Fernando Alonso is among the blue-tick losers

The Austrian driver, who boasts over 3 million followers on the bird application, will not be seen with a verification until further development. And the fans have all kinds of reactions to this news. From calling it unfair to then joking about the fact that Nando is saving up for Aston Martin development, the F1 Twitter had a blast.
