Elon Musk will “delete” all old green ticks on Twitter

After acquiring the platform for a whopping $44 billion, Elon Musk began making a series of profitable changes to Twitter to settle debts, and much of the effort lies in Twitter Blue registration and verification system.

With all the trouble swirling around the platform lately, it’s not hard to see why some advertisers are pulling out of Twitter temporarily. On the other hand, some brands are sure to benefit from the increased attention that Twitter is getting.

In any case, it seems that the father of electric car maker Tesla wanted to reduce the company’s reliance on advertising, so Elon Musk pushed engineers to work harder to design. Twitter Blue subscription model and perks.

Up to now, the South African-American billionaire has increased the price of Twitter Blue to 8 USD/month (199,000 VND). If you spend this amount of money, users will easily own a green tick, something that was difficult to get before. However, other users can check that this green check is coming from paying for a subscription or through other means.

Elon Musk seems adamant when it comes to the changes he’s making to the verification system. Just two days after acquiring Twitter, the billionaire announced “the whole verification process is being revised right now.” In response to a customer request for help with a particular issue in a new tweet on November 10, Elon Musk revealed the future of pre-verified accounts.

Now, if you see someone with a green tick,” you can tell if they received it from a Blue subscription or if it was awarded through physical verification. Some users won their precious green tick before, but now with Twitter Blue, the system says they are verified because they pay 8 USD/month (199,000 VND).

According to the Twitter CEO, there are too many “broken” verification checkmarks. As a result, Musk plans to remove these old checkmarks in the next few months, meaning all previously verified accounts will suddenly lose their proof mark, unless they sign up for the $8/month plan ( 199,000 VND).
