- Elon Musk, the new owner of Twitter, on Tuesday outlined his plan for blue checkmark verification following pushback over reports that the social media giant would charge a fee of $20 a month.
- The monthly verification fee, Musk said, would give Twitter a revenue stream to reward content creators.
- The proposal comes during Musk’s first week as the new owner of Twitter, having fired the company’s board of directors last week and making himself the board’s sole member.
