Twitter Blues

Elon Musk to fire employees who don’t meet Nov. 7 deadline for implementation, according to The Verge

But buying into the blue check mark comes at quadruple the subscription’s initial cost: $19.99. Per the new plan, verified accounts will have 90 days to subscribe to Twitter Blue or lose their blue check marks.

Twitter did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone’s request for comment.

While Musk did not provide details on if the program will implement the changes that have been reported, he did confirm that the verification process will not continue the way it has in the past. “The whole verification process is being revamped right now,” he tweeted on Sunday.
