Musk – who became Twitter’s largest shareholder last week – made the proposal on Saturday as part of a series of proposed “improvements” to the social networking site. Expressing a possible idea, Musk said: “Everyone who subscribes to Twitter Blue (ie pays $ 3 / month) should receive an authentication mark.” One respondent called for the cost to become cheaper, claiming that $ 3 feeds an entire family in the South American nation. This prompted Musk to respond again, writing: “Maybe even a payment option at Doge?” Musk has long enjoyed teasing his 80 million followers with the cryptocurrency, whose logo is a Shiba Inu dog, and which is widely regarded as a joke. Unlike Bitcoin – the most valuable form of encryption, which is worth about $ 43,320 as of April 10, Dogecoin is currently worth $ 0.16.

The Tesla CEO was also appointed to Twitter’s board on Tuesday after posting several polls on Twitter about button issues within the company, including a question about whether it should implement an edit button.
Launched in June 2021, Twitter Blue is Twitter’s first subscription service and offers “exclusive access to premium features” on a monthly subscription basis, Twitter says. Available in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
They include bookmarks and a “preview” feature that allows subscribers to see what a tweet looks like and undo any errors for 30 seconds before it goes live.
The social networking site has confirmed that it is finally working on a long-requested edit button last week, after it was suggested by Musk.
In a Twitter post, the head of electric vehicle maker Tesla Inc. suggested that users who sign up for Twitter Blue should pay significantly less than the current $ 2.99 per month and have an ID as well as a payment option at local currency.
“The price should probably be ~ $ 2 / month, but it is paid 12 months in advance and the bill does not receive a check mark for 60 days (beware of credit card bill reversals) and is non-refundable if used for fraud / spam “correspondence,” Musk said in a tweet.
“And not ads,” Musk suggested. “The power of companies to dictate policy is greatly enhanced if Twitter depends on advertising money to survive.”
Musks’s reasoning came after he posted several polls on Twitter to his millions of followers on the social networking platform on Saturday.
The honest Tesla CEO, known for his social media harassment, first asked if he should turn the company’s Silicon Valley headquarters into a homeless shelter, before proposing the removal of the “w” letter on Twitter.
In the first post, Musk – who bought a 9.2 per cent stake in the social media giant earlier this week and then was appointed to the company’s board – appears to have targeted the company’s lax remote work policies, saying that he ended up in the plan ‘since no one shows up anyway.’
So far, the results of the 24-hour poll, published at 21:30 ET by the billionaire businessman, indicate overwhelming support for the future venture – with 91.1 percent of more than 923,459 respondents voting in favor of the plan.
The second “w” deletion tweet saw Musk give two no-no answers, with 55.8 per cent saying “yes” and 44.2 per cent saying “of course” from 445,158 votes to date. .
It comes weeks after Twitter brass – which offered staff the opportunity to work from home “forever” during the pandemic – reopened its offices on March 15, leaving remote work a staff choice. .

Musk became the company’s majority shareholder this week after it was revealed he bought a 9.2% stake in the social media giant earlier this week and was then appointed to the company’s board of directors.
“It has been almost two years since we closed our offices and we are traveling and I am excited to announce that we are ready to fully open business trips and all our offices around the world!” Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal wrote in a note to employees posted on Twitter on March 3.
“Business trips return immediately and office openings will begin on March 15,” the executive wrote.
In the statement, Agrawal, who was promoted to CEO of the San Francisco-based company in November, said he would honor a policy implemented by former chief executive Jack Dorsey in the early days of the pandemic, who said that staff could work remotely “forever” if they wanted to.
“Our top priority since the beginning of the pandemic was to keep you all safe and this will continue,” Agrawal wrote.
“We are now returning to a stage where you are living your life, adapting to local health guidelines and deciding what works best for you.
“Well, the decisions about where you work, if you feel safe traveling for business and what events you will attend, should be yours,” the executive added, in a bold sentence this time.
“As we step back, our approach remains the same,” said Agrawal, 37.
“Where you feel most productive and creative is where you work, and that includes working from home full time forever,” the CEO wrote in another catchphrase.
“Office every day? This also works. Some days at the office, some days from home? Of course.’
Agrawal, however, warned that “distributed work will be much, much more difficult” and said “there will be many challenges” in the midst of the new policy.
Agrawal went on to advocate for the benefits of having staff in the same physical space where they can experience “corporate culture” and said office visits would “bring that culture to life in such a strong way”.
The CEO then gave a signature that seemed optimistic about the executives’ desire to return to personal work.
“I look forward to seeing you all back in the office or maybe at an event, somewhere in your city or mine?”
“I can not wait … Produce.”

More than a month later, as Silicon Valley tech workers begin to filter back into the office as Covid-19 cases plummet, CEO’s belief in employees’ desire to return to work in person seems to have been misplaced. – something new board Member Musk appeared to be sharpening with his obviously mocking post.
Google, for example, told employees last month that it would begin requiring employees to return in person at least three days a week – a policy that went into effect last week
Apple also announced that by April 11, employees must work from the office at least one day a week.
Twitter, meanwhile, has made no personal demands on its employees – a decision Musk seemed to describe in his post.

Prior to the poll, Musk also suggested further changes to Twitter’s business models in a series of tweets suggesting modifications to the platform’s premium Blue service, including cheaper subscriptions, ban ads and cryptocurrency payments.
The service, which gives users access to additional features such as an undo button and news articles without ads, currently costs $ 2.99 per month.
“The price should probably be ~ $ 2 / month, but it is paid 12 months in advance and the bill does not receive a check mark for 60 days (beware of credit card bill reversals) and is non-refundable if used for fraud / spam correspondence, “Musk wrote on Saturday.

Musk, the richest man in the world, was upset this week when it was announced that he had bought a 9.2% stake in the social media giant – making him the platform’s largest shareholder – and was a member of the company’s board.
Twitter concluded the board member’s agreement with Musk on Monday, a SEC report revealed.
