by Elon Musk, who has completed the acquisition of Twitter and has become CEO, has reported that he has issued instructions to employees to develop and launch a new Twitter Blue plan before the dead line on November 7, or he will be fired. Twitter Blue is currently a value-added service for Twitter, but in the future it will become a channel for Elon Musk to make money by charging for verified accounts.
Currently paying for the Twitter Blue service, users can edit Tweet posts and upload 1080p videos and other extras. The report said that after Elon Musk took over Twitter, he intends to change Twitter Blue to a service that charges fees for verified accounts. Whether it is a large enterprise, a small business, a celebrity, a politician or an ordinary person, those who need to obtain the “Blue Tick” account authentication need to change from the previous free form application to payment. It is rumored that the fee will be charged monthly, at $19.99 per month ( About 157 Hong Kong dollars), it is also rumored to be 60 US dollars (about 471 Hong Kong dollars) per year.
The news indicates that certified users have a 90-day grace period. If they do not opt in to the new Twitter Blue within the time limit, the account’s “Blue Tick” certification will be revoked. Some authenticated personal account users expressed their opinions after the news that they would not pay. However, “Blue Tick” has always been a way for netizens to identify fake accounts. If the news is true, in the future, there will be higher difficulty.
