Billionaire Elon Musk, who recently purchased the social networking site Twitter for $44 billion, said in a series of Tweets that he is intending to charge verified users $8/month.
Elon Musk’s statement on Twitter
Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bullshit. Power to the people! Blue for $8/month.
Price adjusted by country proportionate to purchasing power parity
You will also get:
– Priority in replies, mentions & search, which is essential to defeat spam/scam
– Ability to post long video & audio
– Half as many ads
And paywall bypass for publishers willing to work with us
This will also give Twitter a revenue stream to reward content creators
There will be a secondary tag below the name for someone who is a public figure, which is already the case for politicians
