Famous businessman Elon Musk has been on the agenda for a long time, especially on Twitter. Musk, who made many changes on the platform after purchasing Twitter, was also in the focus of criticism with his paid blue tick badge. Today, the businessman made a statement about Twitter Blue.

In a statement on his Twitter account, Musk said that they are delaying ‘Twitter Blue’ indefinitely until they stop the fake account problem on the platform. The Blue subscription was normally expected to launch on November 29. However, according to Musk’s statement, the main reason for the Twitter Blue delay step is to take a measure to prevent fake users.
The fake accounts of the same user related to the application also received blue ticks, causing much criticism. However, Musk also stated that they will offer verified account badges in different colors for institutions.
We can also say that a new confirmation confusion has emerged after Musk’s statement. The fact that account badges are paid has caused some accounts to be faked and companies such as Volkswogen, Audii, General Motors have stopped their advertisements on the platform.
In addition, it was revealed that Elon Musk offered to work for free on Twitter to George Hotz, the head of autonomous vehicle infrastructure comma.ai. Hotz, who will take the position of intern at the company, announced that he will bring the Twitter search experience to the desired level in 12 weeks.
