      No. Twitter remains "free." If you want to be "verified," it'll cost you some cash, as opposed to having a bunch of bureaucrats decide if you're real.

      ETA: The $8 also allows you to post longer videos, see fewer ads and things I don't recall.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  Elon's having so much fun.

                  Of course, he hasn't (afaik) visited TNCR, so he might not be completely informed, yet.

                          In all honesty, I feel compelled to say that he’s having a lot less fun than I’d be having if I had a Brazilian dollars

                                      Not sure if the $8/month fee for "verified accounts" is an official policy yet. For those who don't like it, they can go build their own platform, go use something else, or go without that "verified" checkmark.

                                          There is a lawsuit being filed by twitter employees, alleging that Musk was legally obligated to provide 60 days notice and retraining opportunities before a large layoff, by CA law.

                                          Education is extremely important.
