TNI Bureau: Putting all speculations and debates into rest, ‘Chief Twit’ Elon Musk has ended the VIP culture on Twitter and announced ‘Blue Tick Verification’ for all at $8 per month.
“Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bullshit. Power to the people! Blue for $8/month”, he tweeted last night.
As on today, there is a tough and cumbersome verification process on Twitter to get the blue tick, which is not appreciated by all.

Musk brought biggest ever reform to Twitter with this decision, which is lauded by the Twitterati.
