New owner of Twitter Elon Musk now has announced that verification on the platform will cost users a monthly fee of US$20 (RM95) a month as part of a new development to the app.

MassLive reported that Musk has ordered the team behind Twitter Blue, which offers an optional US$4.99 (RM24) subscription to unlock additional features on the platform, to change it into a pricier subscription for users to be verified and stay verified for US$20 (RM95) a month. Verification means having the famous blue check mark to a Twitter users profile, which confirms their legitimacy.
