Twitter to start charging $20 per month for verified users: report
In one of his first moves at Twitter, Elon Musk is moving to charge users $20 per month to be verified on the social media platform, The Verge reported.
The reported move to charge for blue checkmarks drew widespread criticism among users.

Twitter employees have until Nov. 7 to launch the new subscription feature, or they will be fired, Musk reportedly told the staff on Sunday.
Users who are already verified will have 90 days to subscribe or lose their blue checkmarks.
Musk tweeted on Sunday that “the whole verification process is being revamped right now.”

The billionaire mogul officially took over Twitter on Thursday night after a contentious legal battle over his $44 billion bid to buy the social media platform.

Shortly after taking control of the company, Musk fired Twitter’s top executives, including CEO Parag Agrawal and Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal.
The Washington Post previously reported that Musk planned to cut nearly 75 percent of Twitter’s workforce after acquiring the platform, though he has denied that figure.

Musk has also indicated that he wants to pull back some content moderation policies, and researchers say hate speech and disinformation have already increased in recent days.

Musk also plans to allow former President Trump back on the platform as he seeks to end lifetime Twitter bans.
Trump was banned from Twitter last year after tweets he posted on the platform that incited violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Twitter did not respond to a request for comment on the matter.

Twitter will go down the toilet just like all the other rightwing social media platforms,forums and dating sites. They're just a gathering place for a small number of extremists and no one with stable mental health wants to be around them.

Elon Musk named sole director of Twitter, dissolves board
Elon Musk has been named sole director of Twitter, dissolving the board in place before he completed his $44 billion acquisition of the company, the social media platform said in a securities filing on Monday.

Musk became the sole director of the company “in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement,” the company told the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Twitter’s former board directors, Bret Taylor, Parag Agrawal, Omid Kordestani, David Rosenblatt, Martha Lane Fox, Patrick Pichette, Egon Durban, Fei-Fei Li and Mimi Alemayehou, will no longer serve the board of the company, it said.

The disbanding of the board is among the string of changes the billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO put in place after assuming ownership of the company last week, concluding a six-month process.

After the acquisition, Musk also reportedly let go of some of the company’s top executives, including Chief Executive Officer Agrawal, Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal and head of legal policy Vijaya Gadde.

Musk’s ownership triggered concerns from critics that he will peel back content moderation policies in a way that will lead to more hate speech and misinformation on the platform. The Washington Post reported Friday that racist and antisemitic tweets spread quickly on Twitter after Musk’s takeover.
Musk may also allow users who have had accounts banned in the past, including former President Trump, back on the platform. On Friday, Musk said he is planning to create a “content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints,” and that “no major content decisions,” including about reinstating accounts, will happen before the council convenes.

He fired them with cause, which was a pretty key clause. He did keep one very valuable employee which had no replacement pool though: Ligma Johnson, who did actually learn to code.

If you're losing followers it's because the bot purge has begun. If you're leaving Twitter, noone believes you any more than we did when you said you were moving to Canada because of Bush then Trump.

Kinda like Putin running the war in Ukraine, narcissism will increasingly control him. If he lets twitter go to shit, he will have another parlor as celebrities start to promote and migrate to alternative platforms. It will become just like the GOP only the scum will remain as the good people flee and it won't be just in America.

There is a lot of Saudi money in the financing package:

Herr Twitler is favorably disposed toward his fellow authoritarians.

I got a twitter account almost as soon as it started and the only time I go there is when I accidentally click on a link in here. I shut the page before it finishes loading most times.

Pretty much the same with FB.

I wouldn't pay a cent to any of those places but do donate to PBS.

:peace:

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the Saudi's seem chummy with Putin.

A poll of more than a thousand Twitter users asked that very thing. Would you pay for a blue tick/subscription on your twitter account. 80% said no.
