Elon Musk announced a Twitter Blue $8 subscription that lets the user become verified, shows fewer ads, adds priority for their tweets in replies, mentions, and searches, and allows posting long video and audio.

Elon Musk has announced that a new version of Twitter Blue will include some sort of verification accessible for $8 per month in the US, with the price “adjusted by country proportionate to purchasing power parity.” He announced the shake-up of the premium service by saying that “Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bullshit.

Musk has been clear about his intention to reduce Twitter’s reliance on advertising for revenue in favor of subscriptions. As recently as this weekend, a plan discussed internally was to charge $20 a month for verification, The Verge reported, with employees being given about a week to implement the change. Musk hasn’t announced when the new pricing and feature set will go into effect, but currently, the in-app documentation for Blue is for the old system.
