Last week (October 27), Elon Musk bought Twitter. According to reports, he fired several top employees, including CEO Parag Agrawal, who might get a $60 million severance package.
Twitter Blue might cost $19.99 per month, rumors say. It is currently $4.99 per month and includes extra features.
Elon Musk wants to charge verified users the new monthly Twitter Blue fee. Verified Twitter accounts have 90 days to join Twitter Blue. Opting out could mean losing "blue check" verification.
The blue badge tells other users an account is authentic and noteworthy. Many celebrities and verified users aren’t feeling Musk’s new plan and have said the blue check “isn’t a status symbol” but rather a way for users to know the person is authentic and trustworthy.
