Musk says Twitter Basic Blue to slash ads by half
Twitter owner Elon Musk tweeted on Monday that Twitter’s Basic blue tick will have half the number of advertisements and the social media platform will offer a higher tier with no advertisements by next year.
Musk did not elaborate further on the details.
The company re-enabled the Twitter Blue sign earlier in the day, after announcing last week that accounts for individuals will get a blue check, while gold and gray check marks will denote business and government accounts.
The monthly subscription price will be $8 on the web and $11 on Apple devices, respectively.
