'We need to pay the bills somehow!' (via toofab)
Since purchasing the social media platform, the Tesla CEO proposed that the app will charge verified users for their blue checkmarks monthly. Musk initially suggested the charge will reoccur at $20 but has since confirmed that the verified checkmark will cost $8 monthly.We need to pay the bills somehow! Twitter cannot rely entirely on advertisers. How about $8?"$20 a month to keep my blue check?" King tweeted before Musk confirmed he would be charging verified users on Tuesday.
The 75-year-old best selling author replied to a fan who claimed he could afford the cost saying,"It ain't the money, it's the principle of the thing." Musk replied to King's criticisms and directly wrote under his tweet,"We need to pay the bills somehow! Twitter cannot entirely rely on advertisers. How about $8?"
"I will explain the rational in longer form before this is implemented. It is the only way to defeat bots & trolls," he continued.Power to the people! Blue for $8/month.
