(SNews) – Twitter CEO Elon Musk reminded Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) who’s boss after the New York Democrat questioned his decision to charge people for their coveted blue checkmarks.
Musk announced the fee structure on Twitter saying:
“Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bullshit.
“Power to the people! Blue for $8/month.
“Price adjusted by country proportionate to purchasing power parity
“You will also get: Priority in replies, mentions & search, which is essential to defeat spam/scam.
“Ability to post long video & audio. Half as many ads.”
AOC said:
“Lmao at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that ‘free speech’ is actually a $8/mo subscription plan.”
Musk said: “Your feedback is appreciated, now pay $8”
