Elon Musk as its new owner Twitter, gave employees their first ultimatum: Meet his deadline for paid Twitter verification or pack up and leave.
The directive will change Twitter Blue, the company's optional $4,99-a-month subscription that unlocks additional functions, to a more expensive subscription that verifies users, according to people familiar with the matter and internal correspondence seen by The Verge. Twitter currently plans to charge $19,99 for the new Twitter Blue subscription.
Under the plan, already verified users will have 90 days to sign up or lose blue signal. Employees will have to meet the deadline and release the new feature by November 7, or they will be fired.
Musk seems to want to revamp the way Twitter accounts are verified. On Sunday, He wrote: "The entire verification process is currently being refreshed."
0 Musk moved quickly with the changes on Twitter, first changing its home page for logged out users. With the help of the Tesla engineers he brought to Twitter as advisors, he plans mass aposolutions σε μεσαία στελέχη και μηχανικούς που δεν συνεισέφεραν πρόσφατα στη βάση του κώδικα. Αυτές οι περικοπές αναμένεται να ξεκινήσουν αυτή την εβδομάδα με τους διευθυντές να δημιουργούν ήδη λίστες εργαζομένων που θα απολυθούν.
Employees tasked with running Musk's projects since he took control Thursday afternoon have been working late into the night and into the weekend.
