After this news, the legendary name of the horror genre King shared the following tweet: "$20 a month to keep my blue teak? Si****, they should pay me. If this comes to life, I will go."
$20 a month to keep my blue check? Fuck that, they should pay me. If that gets instituted, I’m gone like Enron.

The tech billionaire replied, "We have to pay the bills somehow. Twitter can't just rely on ads. How about $8?" Musk then gave another response: I will explain the logic in a long way before the application comes to life. This is the only way to defeat bots and trolls.
