Twitter plans to start charging nearly $20 a month for users to stay verified.

This is part of a premium service that will be rolled out under Elon Musk’s leadership, according to a report.

"The whole verification process is being revamped right now," Musk, who took over as the CEO of the social media platform Friday, October 28, tweeted Sunday, October 30.

The company also plans to raise its optional $4.99-a-month premium subscription called Twitter Blue to $19.99 a month. However, that price is subject to change, The Verge reported, citing internal correspondence and people familiar with the matter.

Twitter will add more features, including verification, to bring its subscription up to par with the cost hike.

Elon Musk plans to make verified users pay money to keep their verified status.

Existing verified users have 90 days to subscribe to the new Twitter Blue after its launch or they’ll lose their blue checkmarks, according to The Verge.

The current Twitter Blue launched about a year ago and offers subscribers a way to view ad-free articles from some publishers as well as additional customization settings.

Musk has been outspoken about his desire to grow subscription numbers to account for half of Twitter’s revenue as well as his eagerness to overhaul the platform’s verification process.

Lol

When I said Elon musk taking over Twitter isn’t a good idea because I was sure he would MONETIZE it as a business man, and that exactly what’s happening.

Twitter can charge verified accounts £100/month and guys will still pay…because If there’s anything I’ve learnt from Social media…People will pay ANY amount as long as they’re classified differently and appear to be in a higher class!!

I'll always find it funny when ordinary people think Elon represents the interest of the common people. Elon is a capitalist and the only thing that matters to him is profit. He'll only align with you if it's profitable to him. nothing more. cheesy

It's nothing but business, Twitter was massively overvalued and over payed for, the executives and shareholders actually benefitted on the monetary side.

It's fair, these verified users especially the influencers make a load of money.

People like Elon Musk are the reason I believe only successful businessmen should rule Nigeria and permeate its National Assembly. This is how a nation prospers.

This is verrrrry true, people like to feel bigger than others.

All those iphone 14 gangs, most of them they only call and chat on Whatsapp with that phone ooo, but will rather buy a 700k iphone to a 100k Redmi, why, just to feel bigger.

All those 200m Ferrari and Lambo, scam na all of them
