The Blue Tick code is given on Twitter to honor political leaders, organizations and celebrities and to officially confirm their profiles. This code will be behind the name of the celebrity.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk announced that when he bought Twitter, BlueTick code would be available to everyone for $8 a month. Elon Musk’s announcement was met with both support and opposition.
Elon Musk tweeted in response to those protesting the Blue Tick tariff. In it, he categorically declared, ‘The complainers keep complaining, the naysayers keep cursing, but the $8 fee will not change.’
He also directed the employees to implement this by November 7. Accordingly, the plan to offer Blue Tick for $8 per month on the iPhone site has come into effect in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and England.
Meanwhile, a Twitter user asked Elon Musk when the plan to offer payment-based BlueTick in India would come. Elon Musk has also given an answer. In which he said, ‘It will come before the end of this month’.
Thus, it is expected that fee-based Blue Tick code issuing system will soon be implemented in India as well. However, the details of how much the fee will be for entering India have not been revealed.
Twitter Layoffs: Why did it fire so many employees? Elon Musk’s answer
The $8 fee is currently only announced for the US and a handful of other countries. It costs around Rs 655 in Indian currency. It is a little overcharged. Hence, it is expected that Blue Tick charges will be reduced in India.
