Musk Unveils Plan To Charge $8 Monthly Fee For Twitter Verification

I could be speaking out of my *ss here but there are plenty of real people who tweet regularly but aren't given blue check marks. Thus the certain street cred level of having a blue check mark. (So yes it does signal the person is verified but it's not an option simply given to everyone.)

Yes but it doesn't verify the person. We've seen a exponential rise of verified politicians' accounts that are being run by bots and paid trolls that post crap 24/7.

Twitter’s new owner on Tuesday indicated the social media giant will soon charge users $8.00 per month for a blue verification badge.

“Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bullshit,” Elon Musk tweeted. “Power to the people! Blue for $8/month.”

Musk says the new price for a checkmark will vary from country-to-country, “proportionate to purchasing power parity.”

Musk declares "Power to the people" then charges a price only the wealthy can afford. LOL

For $100 a year, I can get free shipping from Walmart. For a little more, I can get free shipping from Amazon along with Prime video. What does Elon give? A blue check mark. LOL

Here's one for free:
