Elon Musk, who officially started the adventure of buying Twitter with a $ 44 billion offer in April, got what he wanted after a great chaos. On October 28, Twitter officially became Elon Musk’s platform. Change rumors on Twitter also started from the first day.
One of the planned changes was that the ‘blue tick’ given to approved accounts on Twitter would now be paid. While discussions on this issue continue, Elon Musk announced the blue tick fee with a post he made on the platform.
Elon Musk reveals that the blue tick will be $ 8
The famous billionaire announced the curious price of the blue tick given to approved accounts in his post on Twitter. In the statement, it was stated that the Blue subscription, which will also include the blue tick, will be 8 dollars. Musk added that this fee will be adjusted according to the purchasing power parity of the countries, that is, it will have local pricing.
In addition, Musk talked about other features that will come with Blue. Accordingly, Blue subscribers will be given the ability to post longer videos and audio, as well as prioritize replies, mentions, and search to eliminate things like spam/fraud. Ads shown to Blue subscribers will also be cut in half.
Musk also explained why the blue tick will be paid:
“I’ll explain the reasoning at length before this is implemented. It’s the only way to defeat bots and trolls.”
