Elon Musk aims to turn Twitter, recently acquired by him, into a profitable enterprise. The company has introduced its subscription service, called Twitter Blue, as part of this effort. The concept is simple: individuals or businesses pay $8 per month for verification checkmark and additional perks. However, it appears that Musk is not content with just this amount. According to recent reports, Twitter aims to capitalize on businesses using the platform by charging them $1,000 per month to retain their golden checkmarks. Here are the detail…

Twitter will let businesses keep their gold checkmarks — for $1,000 per month

Even though Twitter Blue got off to a bad start, it somehow managed to enter our lives. The blue checkmark for individuals and the gold checkmark feature for businesses were also made available with this service. However, Twitter is reportedly looking to cash in on businesses using its platform by charging them $1,000 per month to keep their gold checkmarks. Allegedly, companies who don’t pay the fee will lose their gold badges,

Additionally, Twitter is considering adding a $50 per month charge to add badges to each account affiliated with the business. The Verified for Organizations program, formerly known as Blue for Business, allows companies to “verify and distinguish themselves” on the platform and add badges to their employees’ and affiliates’ accounts. You can see the social media analyst Matt Navarra’s post on the subject.

Let us start by saying that this information has not yet been officially confirmed by Twitter. However, given CEO Elon Musk’s recent statements and the company’s $12.5 billion debt, it is not impossible. Nonetheless, charging $1,000 per month from every verified business account doesn’t seem logical. It would be more reasonable to set pricing based on the size of the business or the number of followers.
