- Twitter, owned by billionaire Elon Musk, could sell blue verification badges for user profiles as early as next week.
- Earlier this week, Musk hinted that verification badges are part of an $8-per-month subscription package; according to Bloomberg, that program could launch Monday.
- Bloomberg also notes, through an anonymous source, that users who already possess blue-badge verification will have a “multi-month” grace period to formally opt into the new subscription model — before being at risk of losing their profile checkmark.
