Elon Musk has confirmed that a Twitter blue tick will cost $8 per month as he branded the platform’s current verification system “bulls***”.
Elon took to Twitter on Tuesday to confirm the change he was making and to explain how it would work.
“Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bulls***. Power to the people! Blue for $8/month,” he stated.
The billionaire, who now describes himself on his personal account as “Twitter Complaint Hotline Operator”, also said that the charge would be “price-adjusted by country proportionate to purchasing power parity”.
