Elon Musk's Twitter Valuation and Checkmark Fees Spark Controversy.
TL;DR
Companies have criticized Elon Musk's plan to charge $1,000 a month for a verified blue checkmark on Twitter, calling it "outlandish" and "meaningless." Twitter plans to remove legacy verified blue ticks from users' accounts starting on April 1, and the only way to keep them is by signing up for its paid Twitter Blue subscription that costs $8 a month. However, for accounts signed up to Twitter Verified Organizations, the cost is $1,000 a month for a blue, gold, or grey checkmark.
