How much can Twitter earn from its blue tick service?

Twitter’s new boss Elon Musk on Tuesday said that a blue verified badge would soon be chargeable and would cost $8 a month.

A blue verified Twitter badge lets people know that an account of public interest is authentic. “Twitter’s current lords and peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is b******t,” Musk tweeted. “Power to the people! Blue for $8/month.” He said that the price would be adjusted for each country “proportionate to purchasing power parity”.

Musk said that users who paid for a verified check subscription to the service would get priority in replies, mentions and searches, and be able to post longer videos and audio clips while dealing with half as many ads.
