Elon Musk officially owns Twitter now and as per his series of tweets, a lot is expected to change. And this will be true for the verification process. But this may not be a happy change for many as the microblogging site might make the famous “Blue Tick” badge a paid thing, thus, making it more exclusive.

It is reported (via The Verge) that Twitter will start asking users to pay for their Blue Tick. Elon Musk has directed employees to soon increase the cost of the Twitter Blue subscription plan and make the Blue Tick a part of its exclusive features. People close to the matter have revealed that the Twitter Blue price might exponentially increase from $5 to $19.99 a month.
