CEO Today - April 2023

Musk Announces Twitter Blue Tick Shake-Up Elon Musk has revealed changes to the paid feature, Twitter Blue, on the social media platform. Starting from 15 April, only verified subscribers will have their posts suggested to other users and be permitted to participate in polls. Non-paying accounts will no longer be included in the “For you” section of recommended tweets as per the new policy. The company also declared that it would revoke the verified status of some “legacy” accounts that were created before Musk’s acquisition of the company. At the moment, users pay $7 per month for blue-tick verification, which also allows access to additional features. Musk commented that the changes were “the only realistic way to address advanced AI bot swarms taking over. It is otherwise a hopeless losing battle.” Photo: Wikicommons - Debbie Rowe THE MONTHLY ROUND-UP
