The price 100% was $20/mo as previously reported by journalists until Twitter dunked on it, and Elon's interpretation of the backlash is "the price is too high" and not "any price makes no sense at all."

This pricing clarification is most likely due to Stephen King's complaint: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1587312517679878144

> We need to pay the bills somehow! Twitter cannot rely entirely on advertisers. How about $8?

His first tweet doesn't seem to relate to the rest. What does the checkmark have to do with Blue?

Pretty sure he's replacing the notability-based verification system with "pay $8/mo to get a checkmark".

He’s trying to do what Facebook couldn’t and charging people for it.
