News & Reviews:   Elon Musk

The Elon Musk era of Twitter is now in full swing and the world’s richest man has already put his stamp on the social media platform that he purchased in October. The latest change that Musk has implemented in Twitter is to remove the ‘Twitter for iPhone’ and ‘Twitter for Android’ labels which are shown at the bottom of tweets.

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.

Soon after Elon Musk took over Twitter, reports said that those with a verified account would have to pay a monthly fee. The figure wasn't finalized yet but it's official now, $8 (~RM37) per month will be charged to Twitter users.

Elon Musk has big plans after acquiring Twitter recently. According to the latest report, one of them might be reviving Vine, a short-video-centric app that we had before TikTok.

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.

After a long and complicated saga, the world’s richest man, Elon Musk has finally completed the takeover of popular social media platform Twitter. The deal costs USD44 billion or ~RM207 billion and also saw the platform’s top executives leave the company.

Elon Musk might compromise and buy Twitter eventually. According to the latest report, the tech mogul isn't planning to take the matter to court by reviving the $44 billion deal, as it could get really messy if involving legal actions. 

Remember how Elon Musk was planning to buy Twitter? Yeah, that's probably not happening anymore. The business magnate first announced his plans to acquire the platform for roughly USD43.4 billion (~RM192.13 billion) back in April. But troubles soon followed and that plan is going down the drain.
