Elon Musk : Il va proposer un abonnement de 8 dollars pour certifier les comptes Twitter

Tech mogul Elon Musk has announced that he will offer an $8 monthly subscription service to certify Twitter accounts. The new service, which is expected to launch in early 2020, will give users a verified badge that will appear next to their username.

Musk’s new service comes as Twitter has been under fire for its handling of fake news and bot accounts. In recent months, the social media platform has been plagued by misinformation and hoaxes, leading many users to call for a more reliable way to verify the authenticity of accounts.

“Power to the people” announces Elon Musk on Twitter

With Musk’s new service, users will be able to rest assured that the accounts they interact with are real people. They no longer want disparities with the few accounts that had the ability to get that famous official certification:

  • politicians;
  • public figures;
  • government;
  • etc.

The current system of Twitter lords and peasants for who does and does not have a blue check mark is bullshit.
Power to the people! Blue for $8/month.

Of course, not everyone is thrilled with Musk’s new venture. Some have criticized the billionaire entrepreneur for trying to cash in on a problem of his own making. After all, it was Musk’s own tweets about taking Tesla private that led to an SEC investigation and a $20 million fine. Others have also pointed out that the verified badge risks becoming a status symbol, which could exacerbate the gap between rich and poor on Twitter.

Whatever the criticisms, it’s clear that Musk’s new service is likely to be a hit with Twitter users. And since he already has more than 22 million followers on the platform, it’s safe to say he knows how to succeed on social media.
