“150 Rupiya Dega,” Elon Musk Bargaining For Blue Tick Floods Twitter With Funny Memes
The Tesla owner Elon Musk is also the new owner of the micro-blogging site Twitter and after taking over the company, he has taken some big steps such as firing the CEO Parag Agrawal, CTO Ned Segal and legal chief Vijaya Gadde. Later on, Elon Musk also talked about the complex work structure of the firm and hinted that he would be doing some major restructuring in the organization.
The first tweet of Elon Musk after taking over Twitter read, “The bird is freed”

Recently, it has been announced that Twitter will be charging fees from the verified Twitter users for keeping their blue tick and this hasn’t gone well with many Twitter users who are having the blue tick.
The famous American author Stephen King was also not happy with this announcement and soon he expressed himself with a tweet which read, “$20 a month to keep my blue check? F@#k that, they should pay me. If that gets instituted, I’m gone like Enron.”
$20 a month to keep my blue check? Fuck that, they should pay me. If that gets instituted, I’m gone like Enron.

Soon Elon Musk responded to his tweet and tried to negotiate with him by bringing down the fees to $8 per month instead of $20. He wrote, “We need to pay the bills somehow! Twitter cannot rely entirely on advertisers. How about $8?”

In his next tweet, Elon Musk also talked about the reason behind this decision as he tweeted, “I will explain the rationale in longer form before this is implemented. It is the only way to defeat the bots & trolls.”

In another tweet, he wrote,
“Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bullshit.
