Twitter has been in turmoil since Elon Musk acquired it, with plans for Twitter Blue unravelling due to a problem with impersonation. As a solution, the subscription plan was shut down last week. Well, it seems Twitter is back with a new plan.

Just last week, Twitter confirmed that it would be offering paid Twitter verification for USD7.99/month (~RM38/month) on iOS. This was quickly followed by the 'official' label for, well, official accounts. But the Twitter Blue update was short-lived, as it got suspended this weekend.

Just last week, Twitter confirmed that it would be offering paid Twitter verification for USD7.99/month (~RM38/month) on iOS. This was quickly followed by the 'official' label for, well, official accounts. But the Twitter Blue update was short-lived, as it got suspended this weekend.

As most of you already know, Twitter will be slapping an $8 monthly fee for official accounts to have that blue tick verification. It sounds like a good idea on paper to rely less on advertisements, but there are some overlooked issues (like a fake account can still buy it). With that, the company is coming up with a solution.

If you were hoping that Elon Musk was joking about paying for verification, we have bad news. Now that Musk owns Twitter, all his plans will likely take priority. As such, it's now confirmed that Twitter would cost a monthly subscription fee for verification marks.

Following his ~RM207 billion takeover of Twitter, Elon Musk has laid out several changes to be implemented in the social media platform, including paid account verification. Moreover, given his position on free speech and censorship in the past, many are also expecting Musk to reinstate banned users on Twitter but according to the man himself, this may not happen for at least the next few weeks.

After taking charge of Twitter, Elon Musk started to make changes to the platform without further ado. One of the changes that has been executed is the new Twitter Blue plan. However, when it comes to the list of features offered, editing is nowhere to be found. Therefore, it's suspected that Musk plans to make the edit button free for everyone.

Previously, we reported that the Elon Musk Twitter takeover has finally taken place, with many of the company’s previous top execs being axed by the world’s richest man as a result. Now, another major change is spicing up the platform, this time in regards to how Twitter will be implementing verified accounts.

Previously, we reported that popular social media platform Twitter is finally rolling out an Edit button; a feature that users have been requesting for years. Now, more details have emerged from the company regarding the new feature, including how users can edit their tweets up to 5 times within a specific period after posting.
