Musk also said in his statement that three different types of verification ticks will also be introduced. Calling it painful but necessary, Musk said, Gold check for companies, grey check for government, blue for individuals (celebrity or not) and all verified accounts will be manually authenticated before check activates”, the report stated. He further said that all verified accounts will be again manually authenticated before they are given any of the ticks.
The report also adds, the subscription for what the company calls the Twitter Blue could also be increased from $5 to $20.
