Nothing will be the same at Twitter from now on. After Elon Musk’s accession to the throne, changes will occur in the ecosystem of the bluebird social network. The man who has never hidden his penchant for cryptocurrencies, including DOGE, is sure to end bots and shoddy accounts in the near future.
Twitter Blue, the bill will soon be multiplied by 4
In addition to the series of dismissals in high places already carried out by the American centibillionaire, departures of employees will not be spared in this company in the event of dissatisfaction. The Dogefather will also be sure to incorporate cryptocurrencies and NFTs into Twitter. For sure, he will begin his purge against bots and disinformation practices.
Alex Heath, from The Verge, wrote an article about another change in sight on the platform. According to him, Elon Musk would be putting pressure on his employees to revise the prices of the subscription to the verification system on Twitter. If the deadline, set for November 7, is not reached, many of them will be dismissed by the new boss.
An upgraded Twitter Blue subscription will now be charged at $19.99 per month after a paywalling system is implemented. Saying that the company is asking users of this service to pay $4.99 right now.
” Fun fact: the verified account will automatically follow all accounts with a blue badge.
This means that there are approximately 423,000 accounts that will soon lose their check if they do not upgrade to the upcoming subscription. »
Musk will clean up his new lair
After hanging around Twitter’s board of directors for months, Elon Musk ended up signing a check for $44 billion on October 27. By acquiring this microblogging site co-founded by Jack Dorsey, the richest man on the planet expects to multiply his turnover by 5 in 2028.
To do this, focus on increasing the number of Twitter users. The goal is to reach 1 billion in a short time. If we take into account the increase in the cost of access to the blue badge mentioned, Elon Musk is in the process of shifting into high gear.
One of the reasons for his withdrawal from the negotiation table with the barons of Twitter is the proliferation of bots on the social network. Certainly, this initiative with Twitter Blue is part of the means deployed to feed its financial ambitions.
Obviously, Musk has long intended to democratize Twitter. By releasing the blue bird from its cage, some already see in it a major opponent for fans of centralization. While others, notably crypto-enthusiasts, expect opportunities from this big shake-up.
