Elon Musk hints at Twitter charging $8 a month for blue tick

New Delhi: Amidst the talks of charging the verified Twitter profiles, Elon Musk hinted Tuesday that a twitter user may have to pay USD 8 per month for blue tick.

Musk was responding to a query from the author Stphen King if he will have to pay $20 a month to retain his blue tick.

“We need to pay the bills somehow! Twitter cannot rely entirely on advertisers. How about $8?” Musk asked King.

According the Musk, this move will help twitter defeat the bots and trolls which he will explain before implementation.

“I will explain the rationale in longer form before this is implemented. It is the only way to defeat the bots & trolls,” Musk added.
