Elon Musk might not be inconsiderate as everyone tags him, as he revealed that he has heard the plea that $1,000 is too expensive for small businesses interested in the Verification badge, and has promised to unveil the prices for small businesses interested in the badge. However, large organizations are expected to pay, $1000 a month.
He said, “We will have a lower cost tier for small businesses but need to manage the onboarding of organizations carefully to prevent fraud. The $1000/month is meant for larger organizations.”
Well the business verification badge, which is gold, has been accessible to business owners who have paid for the badge as of March 31st.
As for individuals who have refused to pay for their verification badge, Twitter removed their badges in April, although Musk is considering reducing the price for small business owners, he isn’t concerned about reducing the price, as regards individual Verification badges.
Elon Musk began putting his plans into action in April, as he removed all the verification badges of those who refused to pay the fee, in a bid to monetize Twitter, Elon Musk imposed a monthly subscription fee for those interested in getting their verification badges. Many celebrities, spoke against Elon Musk’s plans, as under the previous owners, the verification badge was earned and not bought, and many vowed not to pay any fee.
