Elon Musk says Twitter Blue plan backfire, says it's backfire

Twitter has ended its blue tick verified program.

The plan to remove the blue check marks from the company is backfiring, according to Elon Musk. According to a CNN report, several media organizations, including The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post, have no plans to shell out money for Twitter Blue.

The owners of Dallas Mavericks and billionaire Mark Cuban have raised concerns about Twitter Blue with Musk.

In a tweet released on Friday, Cuban asked Elon Musk why he was losing hundreds of followers daily despite paying for a Twitter Blue subscription.

Last week, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shared her dismay over Musk's plan to remove the blue checkmarks that help verify Twitter users.

In November 2022, Musk announced that Twitter Blue would be available to all but with a price tag.

At the time, he said that Twitter's current lords peasants system for who doesn't have a blue checkmark is bullshit. Power to the people! Blue was a Blue contract for $8 month. The service was stopped soon after the platform was flooded with verified trolls. The service was relaunched in December.
