Musk announced the introduction of a Monthly subscription ‘Twitter Blue’ to have the account verified.

Director Stephen King discussed it directly with the CEO, with a question and answer on Twitter. Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo warmly invited him to leave social: “Elon. Please, for the sake of decency, get off Twitter, hand the keys over to someone who knows how to do real work, and keep running Tesla and SpaceX. You are destroying your credibility. It’s not a pretty sight.”
