Turkey's president says he wants to discuss Twitter's $8 blue tick fee with Elon Musk to see if he can avoid paying it, a report says
Recep Tayyip Erdogan told ATV he was considering talking to Musk about the monthly $8 subscription, which would give users a blue checkmark, the ability to post long-form video, priority in search, and fewer ads, per Reuters.
The charge for Twitter verification"might be different for us," Erdogan told ATV, Reuters reported."We could carry out some diplomacy with him as well." Erdogan, who appears to post regularly on Twitter, is verified on the social-media platform. This means Twitter has confirmed Erdogan's account belongs to him.
Other politicians, celebrities, journalists, and high-profile figures have also been verified on the site, but some may lose their blue tick if they refuse to pay the $8 fee when it's implemented.
