Twitter’s new CEO Elon Musk wants to cash in for verification but Kenyan Twitter bigwig is having none of it.
The newly announced plans to charge for its Blue service, which includes the sought-after “verified” badge has been making headlines with scores of users expressing their displeasure.
Among those who have criticized this move is controversial lawyer Miguna Miguna who boasts of 2.3 million followers on the platform. He called out the new owner for wanting to exploit users.
”You don’t need the money. Greed is one of the worst sins. Stop exploiting Twitter users. If you persist, we will ORGANIZE a mass exodus from Twitter and turn your “investment” into a nightmare! Continue pushing us!!,” tweeted Miguna.
The billionaire who owns Tesla, has told off anyone opposed to the move, tweeting, “To all complainers, please continue complaining, but it will cost $8.”
He said blue-tick subscribers would get priority in replies, mentions and search, and be able to post longer videos and audios, while dealing with half as many ads.
