Elon Musk, who bought Twitter for $ 44 billion, announced the fee for the blue tick.
This move by Musk will make it easier to get blue clicks on the social media platform.
Elon Musk Talks About Blue Tick
Declaring himself a “Chief tweet”, Elon Musk spoke about the blue tick, which has been on the agenda for a long time.
Musk used the following statements in his post on his Twitter account:
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.

Musk stated that a monthly fee of $ 8 will be requested in the continuation of the tweet, and that this price will also differ according to the countries and purchasing power.
Musk added that this feature will provide an extra revenue stream to reward Twitter creators.
While the change is welcomed by some, some users are worried that paid verification could give scammers legitimacy.
