Musk is serious: eight dollars for verified accounts

The short message service updated the app on Saturday. Now that coveted white tick on a blue verification badge costs eight dollars a month. Until now, the symbols that guarantee the authenticity of the Twitter profile have been assigned free of charge. In particular, the accounts of celebrities, companies, and users with many followers, such as politicians or journalists, were marked with the authenticity symbol. In its update for Apple devices, Twitter said that anyone who signs up for the new service “now” will get the blue tick next to their username, “just like the celebrities, businesses, and politicians you already follow.”

Other benefits of the update include “half the ads,” the ability to post longer videos on Twitter, and better placement for high-quality content. This is Elon Musk’s first major overhaul of the social media platform since he took over Twitter.

The new verified service is initially rolling out in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. “Once we know it’s working well in the first few countries and we’ve completed the translation work, it will be rolled out globally,” Musk said in a tweet on Saturday.
