The technology guru took over Twitter operations as the CEO in October and has since made several changes some of which have caused a war between him and the application’s users.
As his first action as CEO, Musk fired top executives in the company as well as other staff.
The company laid off 50 percent of its employees, with Musk defending the massive lay-offs in the company, saying that the business experienced a ‘massive drop’ in revenue as many advertisers withdrew and also alleged that activists are ‘trying to destroy free speech in America.’
He then announced that Twitter blue and verified account owners would pay a monthly subscription. For the latter, the owner would part with Sh800 monthly to keep the blue tick, while Twitter Blue users would part with Sh2,428 monthly.

Critics of the rule were slapped with, “Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bullshit. Power to the people! Blue for $8/month,” adding that the price would be adjusted regarding a country proportionate to purchasing power parity.
He also announced that he should permanently suspend impersonation handles that did not boldly put the name ‘parody’ on their account.
“No major content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before that council convenes,” Musk tweeted, saying he would be forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints adding that a creator would benefit monetary wise from all content.
