mind you bots only became a major issue once he took over and fired everyone who was running the site properly. the site has ran like booboo ever since and we’re supposed to believe that paid verification is going to help https://t.co/YOCHuF0B9M

If Elon Musk thinks I am going to hand over my credit card details, even for just one dollar a year, then he's an idiot
What is the point of a social media site where you have to pay to have any interaction whatsoever https://t.co/tcsLW1QwAB

"Okay so we thought that $8 a month would be enough to price out the bots but obviously that didn't work. What's our next move?"
"What if we charged them… less?" https://t.co/O6peT8pEhp— Cleric Knight (@ClericKnight) October 18, 2023

Elon Musk is the richest person in the world, but he wants your credit card number to use something that was free before he bought it.
A genius he is not.

It's an attempt to harvest credit card data of users. Many fake vendors selling garbage on here have the blue checkmark, so this is not going to stop "the bots". In fact I'm wondering what Musk even thinks "bots" are, I think he means "critics" https://t.co/VVKwF9J5Q7

There could be some things tweeters might be prepared to pay for.
What I *would* pay for on Twitter is a setting that allowed me to block any verified account with less than 100 followers. Sick of doing it manually.
