Twitter new owner and serial investor, Elon Musk has raised dust online when he said individuals and organisations must get verified the social media platform at cost of $8 per month against former policy that said ‘Twitter does not sell the blue Verification badge’.
To all complainers, please continue complaining, but it will cost $8
