This cancels earlier reports which claimed the feature would cost $20 per month.

According to him, the current system for allocating blue check marks – which verify a user as a trustworthy source – is “bullshit”.

“Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bullshit,” he tweeted on Tuesday. 

Price adjusted by country proportionate to purchasing power parity

“Power to the people! Blue for $8/month,” he added. 

Musk said the price had been “adjusted by country proportionate to purchasing power parity”. 

“You will also get:- Priority in replies, mentions & searches, which is essential to defeating spam/scam- Ability to post long video & audio and- Half as many ads.”

He added: “And paywall bypass for publishers willing to work with us.”

He said this will also give Twitter a revenue stream to reward content creators.

“There will be a secondary tag below the name for someone who is a public figure, which is already the case for politicians.”

“Twitter speaks to the inner masochist in all of us. To all complainers, please continue complaining, but it will cost $8.”

Musk confessed to stealing the idea from “Monty Python”— a British surreal comedy troupe that created the sketch comedy television show Monty Python’s Flying Circus, which first aired on the BBC in 1969.

“Totally stole the idea of charging for insults & arguments from Monty Python tbh.”
