Elon Musk says Twitter will revise how it verifies users
- Users would have to subscribe to Twitter Blue at US$4.99 a month or lose their ‘verified’ badges if the project moves forward, according to a tech newsletter
- Musk has also requested that logged out users visiting Twitter’s site be redirected to Explore page which shows trending tweets, according to a Verge report

Twitter will revise its user verification process, Elon Musk said in a tweet on Sunday, just days after he took over one of the world’s most influential social media platforms.
“Whole verification process is being revamped right now”, Musk said in his tweet without giving more details.
Twitter is considering charging for the coveted blue tick verifying the identity of its account holder, technology newsletter Platformer reported on Sunday, citing two people familiar with the matter.
Users would have to subscribe to Twitter Blue at US$4.99 a month or lose their “verified” badges if the project moves forward, according to the report.
The CEO of Tesla has not made a final decision and the project could still be scrapped but according to Platformer it is likely that verification will become a part of Twitter Blue.
