“I no longer have a blue check,” wrote Martin, whose Twitter account boasts a hefty 8.6 million followers.
“But I would appreciate it if [you] told me that you still see it,” he added, joking, “I really need this.”
Meanwhile, Charlie Sheen also issued a tweet asking for his blue check to be returned.
“dear @elonmusk,” wrote Sheen, tagging Musk directly. “i’m sorry our fancy rocket exploded in spectacular fashion. i’m sure you’ll build an even bigger and more explody one.”
He concluded by writing, “now, may i please have my blue check back? it would mean a lot to me.”
Musk responded, telling Sheen, “I feel your pain.”
Meanwhile, Musk has granted complimentary blue-check status to certain celebs who have been particularly critical of the new plan, including Steven King, LeBron James and William Shatner.

After Twitter’s mass revocation Thursday of thousands of “legacy” verified blue check-marks, carrying out owner Elon Musk’s long-promised purge of the “corrupt” system, several high-profile accounts still had the iconic blue badges… even though they evidently aren’t paying for Twitter Blue (the subscription service whose perks now include a blue check-mark).
