Barely 48 hours after the takeover of American communications company, Twitter by Elon Musk, the company has announced plans to start charging almost $20 monthly for verification.
It was gathered that the monthly subscription is part of the premium service to be rolled out under the leadership of Elon Musk for users to stay verified.
Musk, in a vague tweet on Sunday, wrote: “The whole verification process is being revamped right now.”
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 said to be subject to change.
After the launch of Twitter Blue, the existing verified users would be given 90 days to subscribe or lose their blue checkmarks.
Thelagostimes recalls that Elon Musk emerged as the new CEO of the social media platform on Friday, October 28.
