The new version of the subscription service is priced at $7.99 per month. The new subscription is $3 more expensive than the previous one, and it was introduced at the insistence of the company's CEO.
Musk initially floated a price for the product, but settled on $8. The blue and white badges that used to be limited to verified accounts have been added to the subscription.
Musk said this morning that he would make the badges available to all users of the social network. He doesn't like that the verification badges are only given to accounts of public figures, businesses, celebrities, journalists, and other high-profile users who are at risk of being impersonated.
The blue Badge is no longer a verification symbol, so it's not clear if a method of identity verification will be implemented. Musk said he "killed" the feature and now its status is unknown. If you don't pay, your verification badges will be removed, but accounts that had verification before the new service came out will retain them.
Half the ads, the ability to post longer videos, and access to new features will be included in the new version of the social network. With 50% fewer ads, some have speculated that the price of the service could end up costing the social network money, especially for those who subscribe to the service through the iPad app.
Musk held a meeting with advertisers where he talked about his future features. He said that viewpoints don't need to be amplified and that a content moderation council would be built.
Musk suggested that users would be able to send money to others on the platform and link their accounts to bank accounts. Content payment options for creators are one of the things that is being worked on byTwitter. Some mistakes might be made as a result of the rapid changes that will be made in the coming months. Features that don't work out will be phased out. How will we improve if we don't do bold moves? Musk spoke.
