You might have to wait a bit longer if you didn't take advantage of the opportunity to give Musk a blue check. The product will be put on hold until there is high confidence that it won't be impersonated.
The roll out of the blue check was chaotic. The feature was used to help bad actors pretend to be famous people. One account pretended to be Eli Lilly and posted, "We are excited to announceinsulin is free now." It was seen millions of times before it was taken down. The company's stock price fell.
Holding off relaunch of Blue Verified until there is high confidence of stopping impersonation.
Will probably use different color check for organizations than individuals.

Musk said that the social network will probably use different color checks for organizations. Since the feature was first rolled out, it has been turned on and off multiple times.
According to a report, Musk talked about building features in an internal presentation called "Twitter 2.0." He has talked about end-to-end ciphers before. In a reply to app research Jane Manchun Wong, Musk said that he was working on this feature. The goal of the social network is to set a signal.
According to Musk, the company has added 1.6 million users this week, hitting a company all-time high of 259.4 million. Musk entered a months-long legal dispute after he deemed these same metrics inaccurate.
