Market Desk (Tech): Elon Musk is considering charging Twitter users $20 (£17.30) a month or $240/year for a blue tick on their account as the world’s richest person prepares an overhaul of the social media platform.
If you want to get a new ‘blue tick’ on Twitter, Mask can introduce the rule of taking subscription first by paying. Also, those who already have a Blue Tick are expected to have 90 days to maintain it.
During this period they have to withdraw their subscription. Otherwise, the ‘blue tick’ may be removed from the verified account after 90 days. Those who have a large number of followers on Twitter can apply for Blue Tick.
The authority approves the ‘Blue Tick’ by verifying the profile of the concerned person. The new owner Musk is bringing changes in this process. He set a deadline for Twitter engineers to complete the change.
The company’s top executives, including CEO Parag Agarwal were laid off soon after Twitter acquisition.
