— and the world’s richest individual wondered out loud if maybe $8 per month was a more palatable option.
Musk had planned to jack up the price of the Twitter Blue subscription plan from $4.99 to $19.99 per month, and would make the service the only way to retain verified-user status,. Users would have 90 days to join the subscription program or have their verified status revoked, per the report. Writer Stephen King, among many others who weighed in on the subject, did not mince words in reacting to the idea. “$20 a month to keep my blue check?” KingMonday to his 6.9 million followers. “Fuck that, they should pay me. If that gets instituted, I’m gone like Enron.” He followed up later by saying, “It ain’t the money, it’s the principle of the thing.”, “We need to pay the bills somehow! Twitter cannot rely entirely on advertisers.
Musk continued, “I will explain the rationale in longer form before this is implemented. It is the only way to defeat the bots & trolls.”— Elon Musk
