'We need to pay the bills somehow!'
over the weekend, Musk told Twitter employees they had to build a paid verification system — said to cost between $5 and $20 per month — or leave the company altogether.
The fee is meant to allow users to keep their verification badge, a controversial move that some of the platform's most prominent users have publicly balked at.. "F*ck that, they should pay me. If that gets instituted, I’m gone like Enron.", comically pleading with King for a financial contribution. "Twitter cannot rely entirely on advertisers.
King's sentiments echo countless other users who were appalled at the decision. Why would they have to foot the bill, paying the richest man in the world to keep their blue check mark?, paying to get verified could have plenty of unintended consequences as well, potentially laying out the red carpet for the same bots and spammers Musk claims to be trying to defeat.
