Elon Musk has stated that Twitter Blue will cost $8 and will be necessary for verification

The statement on Tuesday comes after days of speculation about how Twitter would evolve under Musk’s control. According to two different reports on Sunday, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is considering raising the price of Twitter Blue to as much as $20 per month and making the membership a prerequisite for verification. Musk appeared to reconsider pricing after a tweet slamming the proposal from novelist Stephen King went viral. “We have to pay the bills in some way,” Musk explained. “Twitter cannot rely only on advertising revenue. What about $8?”
