Elon Musk is seeking strategies to turn a profit from Twitter and to recoup his investment, with a novel new plan of action.
Elon Musk Reportedly Charging $1000 A Month For A Golden Twitter Tick-‘OMG! Are You Kidding Me’
According to reports, Musk is introducing a payment system for prominent companies and brands who desire to keep their verifiable gold checkmark.
In order to maintain their coveted golden checkmark, companies will have to shell out $1,000 on a monthly basis, according to a report from The Information.
Matt Navarra, an expert in the social media field, posted a picture of a purported email from Twitter affirming the presence of a fresh monthly fee.
The post included the comments: “Twitter is reportedly emailing businesses offering gold check mark verification for $1000 PER MONTH. And affiliate account verification for $50 each per month.”
Nevertheless, this may not go down well for the following reasons. First of all, it comes across as though Elon is once again attempting to make money through a new ploy.
On top of this, he is ardently attempting to get people to join Twitter Blue, which costs $8 per month and provides users with a blue checkmark, no matter how insignificant they are.
Secondly, there is always a chance that the big-name companies who would be able to afford the gold tick may decide to take their custom elsewhere if they do not feel that this is a viable option.
The fans on social media had a lot to say about the matter. Large numbers of people questioned whether this was viable, as they felt that the fees being quoted by Elon were too much to bear.
One person wrote: “US$1000 per month. OMG! Are you kidding me…It was too expensive,” while another person stated: “Checkmark better be made out of real gold.”
We will have to see how this will all play out moving forward. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
