Musk says verified Twitter accounts need to pay $8 a month

Reports emerged shortly after Elon Musk became the CEO of Twitter that those with verified accounts would have to pay a monthly fee if they wanted to keep using the service. We still haven’t determined the exact amount, but it’s official now, and every Twitter user will be charged $8 (RM37) per month through this new program.

Verified Twitter accounts pay $8 a month, Musk says

A blue tick is a symbol that is used on Twitter to signify a verified account for well-known public figures, brands, outlets and others that do not use Twitter. It seems counterintuitive to force official accounts to pay, but it would make it harder for people to identify the reliable sources as they might not have access to official accounts. Musk even went on to criticize Twitter’s current model for being a “lords and peasants system” in a recent interview.

Musk even went on to criticize the current Twitter system, describing it as a “lords and peasants system”.
