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 it is claimed that Twitter will ask for a fee of $ 20 for this service, a statement came from Elon Musk today.
Elon Musk responded to Stephen King’s $20 fee complaint:
Responding to the reaction of the famous writer Stephen King to the claim of $ 20 fee, Elon Musk shared the possible new fee for the blue tick. The conversation between Musk and King was as follows:
“$20 a month to keep my blue tick? Damn, they should actually pay me. If this becomes institutionalized, I will go bankrupt like Enron.”
“We have to pay the bills somehow! Twitter cannot completely trust advertisers. How about 8 dollars?”
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.”
There was also a reaction from a familiar name to the $ 20 fee for the blue tick:
44130
