I know Musk recently lost $100 billion, and $8 is a Happy Meal at Maccas each month, but what I want to know (1) who does his hair it's awful and (2) has he had an elastic face lift?
The best part of twitter is still free¯\\_(:|)_/¯, it's just a premium type service and it ain't an out-of-the-ordinary business model to offer a premium service. so please stop chucking tantrums.
A publication that has the word BUSINESS in its title should understand this.
YES! If the United States and people around the globe want to start a class system with blue checkmarks on platforms that contain vital information for humans to maneuver in a financial world, Blue checkers should have no problem paying the $8 in exchange for manipulating for $..
Take it or leave it. Thanks elonmusk .
wow, someone at BI has got their nickers in a knot over $8. there there!
You mad?
Correct. I've got to squeeze some cash out of this mess I've gotten my self into. You know the Saudis loaned me some of the money, right? Would you want to owe MBS money?

Twitter could start charging for blue ticks next week: BloombergTwitter could start charging for blue ticks next week, and Elon Musk doesn't want to hear what you think about it: Your feedback is appreciated, now pay $8' elonmusk is navigating a novelty. Civic free speech is assured by taxes, courts & compliant government. Private company 'free speech' is assured by revenue streams. They aren't the same animal at all. If $8 a month solves 'private' free speech, its far less than the IRS charges. This company will tank faster than it takes you to hit the bathroom after tacobell. He is a businessman not a social worker. what did you guys expect?
