"The checkmark will be hidden on your profile and posts. The checkmark may still appear in some places and some features could still reveal you have an active subscription. Some features may not be available while your checkmark is hidden. We will continue to evolve this feature to make it better for you."

Given that Musk was initially selling the idea of a blue check as bringing "power to the people", it feels a little ironic that he's now rolled out an option to hide the very thing he was suggesting people give him money for.
