Twitter may start charging some users £17 a month

240,000 Twitter users could be asked to pay £17 a month to use the platform under plans from new owner Elon Musk. Musk, who bought the social media platform for £38billion last week, is reported to be considering bringing in a usage charge for some people.

The fee would apply to users with a blue tick - which verifies your identity. There are around 240,000 blue tick users on Twitter.

According to Platformer, Twitter may now soon require users to have a paid subscription to Twitter Blue in order to retain their blue tick verified status, reports The Echo.
