Twitter to lose magic with blue tick fee, says ex exec
Charging $8 a month for a Twitter blue tick and other bonus features will make the social-media platform lose its "Magic", a former executive has said. "If charging for the blue tick was the fairest way to do it, I think Twitter probably would have done it a while ago," Mr Borrman told BBC News. Some Twitter users have been threatening to delete their accounts in protest at the new leadership. Mr Dorsey has also retained his stake in Twitter - worth about $1bn - and has been supportive of Mr Musk, describing him as "The singular solution I trust" to run the company. Mr Borrman, who left Twitter in June 2021, after three and a half years, and now works at the not-for-profit web organisation Mozilla, said he was pleased to have gone before Mr Musk arrived on the scene.
