Elon Musk, the new 바카라Chief Twit바카라 of the largest microblogging site, is all set to make a mark in Twitter Inc since he became the sole director after firing several directors.
From paid verification to restoring banned accounts, here바카라s a look at the several proposed suggestions Elon Musk wishes to bring about in the Twitter space.
Elon Musk, the new 바카라Chief Twit바카라 of the largest microblogging site, is all set to make a mark in Twitter Inc since he became the sole director after firing several directors.
Elon Musk on Wednesday announced that it would be 바카라at least a few more weeks바카라 until banned accounts would be allowed back on Twitter.
Previously, in another tweet, he expressed his wish to make verification a paid thing. Days after acquiring the social media platform, the tech billionaire has been reviewing the company바카라s code with help from Tesla Inc. engineers while consulting with powerful friends, he trusts, to help him make important decisions about where to take the product.
Here바카라s a look at the several proposed suggestions Musk wishes to bring about in the Twitter space:

Elon Musk on Tuesday said the site will charge $8 per month to verify users바카라 accounts.
In a tweet, he said that this policy will upend the platform바카라s 바카라current lords & peasants system바카라 and help in rebuilding their revenue model and 바카라reward content creators바카라.
The pricing will be 바카라adjusted by country proportionate to purchasing power parity바카라 and a user will be prioritised in 바카라replies, mentions and search, which is essential to defeating spam and scam.바카라
With this, a paid, verified user will also have the ability to post long videos and audio, receiving 바카라half바카라 the number of advertisements they see now.
바카라There will be a secondary tag below the name for someone who is a public figure, which is already the case for politicians,바카라 Musk further said.
Many of Twitter바카라s most prominent verified users said they would leave if it tried to implement the plan.
Stephen King, an American author, tweeted: 바카라USD 20 a month to keep my blue check? F바카라 that, they should pay me. If that gets instituted, I바카라m gone like Enron.바카라 Hours later, Musk replied to King: 바카라We need to pay the bills somehow! Twitter cannot rely entirely on advertisers. How about USD 8?바카라
Musk tweeted, 바카라Twitter will not allow anyone who was de-platformed for violating Twitter rules back on platform until we have a clear process for doing so, which will take at least a few more weeks바카라
However, former President Donald Trump, an avid tweeter before he was banned, said Friday he was 바카라very happy that Twitter is now in sane hands바카라 but promoted his own social media site, Truth Social, that he launched after being blocked from the more widely used platform.
Trump was banned two days after the Jan. 6 attacks for a pair of tweets that the company said continued to cast doubts on the legitimacy of the presidential election and raised risks for the presidential inauguration that Trump said he would not be attending.
Trump has repeatedly said that he will not return to Twitter even if his account is reinstated, though some allies wonder if he바카라ll be able to resist as he moves closer to announcing another expected presidential campaign. His Twitter account remained suspended Friday.
Musk said the delay will give Twitter time to set up a process around determining when and how banned users can return. Musk has said he doesn바카라t believe in permanent bans and called it a 바카라mistake바카라 to permanently suspend Trump in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Twitter had said at the time it made the decision 바카라due to the risk of further incitement of violence.바카라
Musk also said he had talked to civil society leaders 바카라about how Twitter will continue to combat hate & harassment & enforce its election integrity policies.바카라
Earlier, when Musk had picked up a stake in Twitter, he had expressed his thoughts on introducing an edit button on Twitter.
However, the feature, which allows users to edit a tweet in a 30-minute window after publishing the post, was recently rolled out simultaneously in Australia, Canada and New Zealand, for $5 per month.
바카라the Edit tweet test is expanding and now rolling out to Twitter Blue members in the US,바카라 Twitter Blue said in a post on Thursday.
바카라go ahead, try it out!바카라 it further stated.
The feature was announced on September 1.
Vine, the short-lived video-sharing platform, was introduced by Twitter in 2012, just five months after the platform launched and became an overnight sensation. However, in 2016, Twitter shut the platform down due to growing competition from competitive platforms including Tik-Tok.
Recently, Musk tweeted a poll to asses whether Vine should be brought back, where 70 per cent of users voted for a Yes.
Last week, Musk completed the USD 44 billion acquisition of Twitter and ousted chief executive Parag Agrawal, legal executive Vijaya Gadde, Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal and General Counsel Sean Edgett.
In a separate development, Musk has denied a New York Times report that he plans to lay off Twitter workers before the start of next month to avoid having to make payouts.
The New York Times reported that Musk had ordered major job cuts across Twitter바카라s workforce.
Citing people with knowledge of the situation, the report said that some managers were being asked to 바카라draw up lists of employees to cut.바카라 The newspaper said the layoffs would take place before November 1, when workers were due to receive grants of shares in the company as a major part of their pay deals.
But replying to a Twitter user asking about the report, he said: 바카라This is false.바카라 The takeover has prompted discussion among Twitter users over what the platform will look like under Musk바카라s ownership, the BBC said.
Some have voiced concerns that more lenient free speech policies would mean people banned for hate speech or disinformation may be allowed back to the platform.
