NEW YORK: Twitter on Saturday updated its app in Apple’s App Store to begin charging US$8 (RM38) for sought-after blue check verification marks, in Elon Musk’s first major revision of the social media platform.

The change comes a week after Musk took over the social media company in a US$44bil (RM208.9bil) deal. The billionaire entrepreneur and CEO of electric carmaker Tesla cut half the staff at Twitter and has vowed to start charging users more.
