The businessman bought Twitter on October 27 for 44,000 million dollars and immediately fired the executive director of the social network, Parag Agrawal, as well as the financial director, Ned Segal, and the person in charge of legal affairs, Vijaya Gadde. The version called Twitter Blue will have priority in replies, mentions and searches; in addition to facilities to post long videos and audios, as well as “half the advertising”
Businessman Elon Musk advanced this Tuesday, November 1, some of his most anticipated ideas about the future of Twitter, and suggested that the network’s “premium” verified account cost 8 dollars.
In a series of tweets, he clarified that this price will be “adjusted by country, in proportion to purchasing power.”
The version called Twitter Blue, so far with little success and available in very few countries, will have the following advantages: priority in responses, mentions and searches, “something essential to combat spam,” according to Musk; in addition to facilities to post long videos and audios, as well as “half the advertising”.
You will also get:
– Priority in replies, mentions & search, which is essential to defeat spam/scam
– Ability to post long video & audio
– Half as many ads— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 1, 2022
Advertisers will also have a “paywall”. With this Musk comes out to step into the debate about charging for Twitter Blue. He pointed out that the new system he intends to apply means “power to the people”, while the current one is “a system of serfs and lords”.
As soon as these messages were posted, he began to receive thousands of retweets and responses, from those who applauded the initiative to those who announced that they were leaving the network.

Musk tried to reassure advertisers that he wants to allow multiple opinions on the social network, without making it a “hellish” platform where everything will be allowed. He has also said that he plans to ease content moderation, fueling fears from critics about a rise in abuse and misinformation on the platform.
