Various reports on Sunday evening suggest Twitter will soon start charging a monthly fee of between $5 and $20 for an account holder to display a blue verification badge.
Tech site Platformer said Twitter is “strongly considering” asking verified users to pay for the verification badge by subscribing to Twitter Blue, a service offering premium features that currently costs $5 per month. The tech site suggests that the change could also be tied to Twitter Blue, with people who want to use the verification badge required to join the premium service. The report said Twitter Blue’s monthly fee may be increased to $20, though it added that the price is subject to change.
Suggesting the situation is moving at a fast pace, Musk tweeted on Sunday: “The whole verification process is being revamped right now,” though he declined to give further details.
