There’s nothing stopping Elon Musk from going super clean on Twitter. After firing half the group’s workforce and falling out with many of the personalities he wants to charge for IDs, the capricious billionaire now plans to remove unused profiles. “Twitter will soon begin freeing up profile space for 1.5 billion accountshe tweeted on Friday, December 9.
The goal is to enable new users of the social network to use these names. “This removal is meaningless for accounts that haven’t tweeted and logged in for years.“, Elon Musk justified in a new message.
Make Twitter Profitable!
Since his arrival, the billionaire has been trying to make the social network more profitable. So a new subscription has appeared for eight dollars a month. Blue Verified mixes the existing paid formula (to take advantage of practical benefits) and account authentication, so far free and reserved for individuals and organizations.
The problem is that its initial deployment on Nov. 9 was accompanied by an avalanche of fake accounts impersonating athletes, companies, and Elon Musk himself. He was suspended after two days.
