Ready for a shock? Elon Musk mulling subscription plan for all Twitter users

Twitter: If you thought only those with blue tick on Twitter will have to cough up a monthly $8, be ready for a big shock. Elon Musk is planning to charge a subscription fee everyone for accessing Twitter very soon in near future. According to reports, the micro-blogging site may be available free for a limited period only.

The company is already asking the blue tickers to pay a subscription fee. If they do not pay up, they stand to lose the blue tick verification checkmark.

Game changer

Twitter has seen many upheavals ever since Elon Musk took over the company recently. And this development as reported in Platformer, will be a major game changer. Platformer claims that Musk is mulling to charge “most or all users a subscription fee to use Twitter.” Users will also be required to pay for Twitter Blue subscription for blue tick (and other features).

According to the report, Musk discussed the new idea with employees in a recent meeting and that the billuionaire, who also owns Tesla, is planning to allow users to access Twitter for a limited time period every month. After this they will be asked to buy a Twitter subscription to continue browsing the website.

Yet to confirm

At the moment, it is unknown whether Musk is seriously planning to consider this subscription plan for Twitter. The report says that the company team is currently tied up with the expansion of the new verification subscription feature. So, even if the platform has plans to launch a subscription for accessing the service, it isn’t going to happen anytime soon.

However, it is not yet clear if Musk is really serious about the subscription plan. It does not look like that the plan is going to be implemented any time soon as Musk is currently “heavily involved in the chaotic launch of Blue.” He is also very busy with meetings and exchanging emails with Esther Crawford, a director of product management at the company.

The Twitter Blue subscription for $8 was recently launched in some countries. Elon Musk has also confirmed that India will get this feature within a month.
