The Verge had announced earlier that Twitter, which is now under the management of Elon Musk, would demand 20 dollars per month from users for the blue tick.
Stephen King, one of the leading authors of horror literature, reacted to the decision and shared the following message:
$20 a month to keep my blue check? Fuck that, they should pay me. If that gets instituted, I'm gone like Enron.

The tech billionaire replied in a joking way to King saying "We have to pay the bills somehow. Twitter can't just rely on ads. How about $8?"
We need to pay the bills somehow! Twitter cannot rely entirely on advertisers. How about $8?
