Twitter Blue: Subscription Price As Elon Musk Suggests The Dogecoin Payment Method
2 min read
Elon Musk has some ideas for Twitter Blue, but what is it and how much does it cost to subscribe?
Elon just acquired a 9.2 percent interest in Twitter, making him the company’s largest shareholder. Because he owns the majority of the company, Elon now has the authority to make modifications to the platform.
Elon also stated that those who wished to subscribe to Twitter Blue should be able to do so using Dogecoin.
Twitter Blue: What is it?
Twitter stated in a blog post that the new feature is aimed at making the Twitter experience “more personalized and expressive” by introducing new options.
People who signed up for the new function were given access to a variety of benefits. To begin, these users will be able to undo tweets, bookmark folders, and use a reading mode to improve their user experience.
How much does a Subscription Cost?
Users will be able to access these capabilities for $3.49 CAD or $4.49 AUD per month, according to the website. This feature is currently being tested for users in Canada and Australia.
When other users will be able to experience this is unknown. At this time, only the above-mentioned features will be provided. Additional features are likely to be introduced in the future, based on user input.
Everyone who signs up for Twitter Blue (ie pays $3/month) should get an authentication checkmark

Elon Musk recommends Dogecoin as a method of payment
Elon has been public about his interest in Dogecoin and suggested that the payment for Twitter Blue be done in Dogecoin.
“Everyone who registers up for Twitter Blue (ie pays $3/month) should get an authentication checkmark,” he stated in a series of tweets. Blue already includes a configurable 20-second time limit for editing tweets.’
“There will be no advertisements,” he continued. If Twitter relies on advertising revenue to stay afloat, companies have a lot more ability to dictate policy. Maybe even a Doge payment option?”
As of currently, there has been no formal confirmation of the modifications. However, considering Elon’s plans to introduce new words to the platform, we wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to mix things up.
