Hopefully, less than a month: Musk on when Twitter Blue will roll out in India

Hopefully, less than a month: Musk on when Twitter Blue will roll out in India

The Hindu
Sunday, November 6, 2022 2:24 PM GMT

Elon Musk had announced that verification blue tick in front of a user's name that authenticates an account will be charged USD 8 per month

Twitter's chargeable blue tick verification service is expected to roll out in India in "less than a month", the microblogging platform's new owner, billionaire Elon Musk has said.

Earlier this month, Mr. Musk had announced that the verification blue tick in front of a user's name that authenticates an account would be charged $8 per month. Twitter's strategy to introduce a monthly charge for the verified badge has polarised users globally.

Mr. Musk, the CEO of electric car maker Tesla Inc, completed his $44-billion takeover of Twitter in October-end, placing the world's richest man at the helm of one of the most influential social media apps in the world.

He also fired the social media company's four top executives, including CEO Parag Agrawal and legal executive Vijaya Gadde.

Twitter then proceeded to fire majority of its over 200 employees in India as part of mass layoffs across the globe, ordered by Mr. Musk who is looking to make the blockbuster acquisition work.

There is no official word on India pricing just yet. A blue tick signifies that a particular account is verified because it is notable in government, news, entertainment, or another designated category.
