Twitter: Elon Musk said that New York Times a 'Propaganda', blue tick removed from Twitter account



Twitter has recently removed the Gold Verified marker of the New York Times, one of the media giants of the world. Twitter's move comes at a time when Elon Musk criticized the New York Times on Sunday itself and termed its reporting as propaganda. Musk wrote in a tweet that the real problem with the New York Times is that its propaganda isn't even interesting. Musk compared the content of the New York Times to diarrhea and said it was not even worth reading.


What musk promised and what he's done?

Last year when musk acquired Twitter he promised to make sure that free speech stands for all and everyone on Twitter irrespective of their political leaning but after he took over he started to fire most of the employees and started making ridiculous decisions one by one based on Twitter polls and his egotism which affected Twitter finances and reduced the valuation to half of what musk paid for twitter.


Verified tick removed under Musk's plan

Let us tell you that Elon Musk had acquired Twitter last year and after that he announced to charge for giving Bluetick for Twitter's verified account. According to Musk's announcement, the fixed amount has started being taken from the verified account from April 1. Under this plan of Musk, the blue tick of New York Times has been removed and he was given a gold tick with a verified business account.


New York Times denied payment for verification.

Now that the Gold Tick of New York Times has also been removed, it will have to pay $1000 monthly to get back the Gold Tick. At the same time, for other affiliated accounts, you will have to pay $ 50-50 per month. The New York Times, on the other hand, says it will not pay for a verified business account and will only take Blue Tick subscriptions for its journalists as it is necessary for their work.


Many additional benefits will be available on verify subscription

Till now only a celebrity, a government institution or a well-known face used to get a blue tick. However, now under Musk's subscription plan, anyone can take Blue Tick by paying every month. Along with this, Blue Tick users will also get some additional facilities, such as the character limit of the tweet will increase. Along with this, edit or undo options will also be available in the tweet.
