#elon Musk has discussed the idea of making #twitter paid:

But all of that could be a prelude to the biggest change of all: charging most or all users a subscription fee to use Twitter.

Both Musk and Sacks have discussed the idea in recent meetings, according to a person familiar with the matter. One such plan might allow everyone to use Twitter for a limited amount of time each month but require a subscription to continue browsing, the person said.

This comes after the company revealed that Twitter Blue will soon offer a verification badge and be priced at $7.99/month. Public figures and companies that got verified before this will reportedly get a disclaimer under their username like what accounts of politicians have.

A week after the launch of the new Blue with verification, #twitter has stopped offering the subscription.

This was likely because Twitter users started to abuse the $8 subscription to impersonate companies, public figures and even Chief Twit #elon Musk himself to post fake news, leading to stocks of several companies dropping in value. There were also some more humorous fake tweets, such as a fake Pepsi account tweeting that "Coke is better".

The social network is also testing an "Official" badge to help tell apart Twitter Blue subscribers from actual verified accounts.
