Gathered all of Musk’s statements and everyone is tweeting about the future at the moment.

On the same day, he explored the Twitter office and spoke to a wide range of people.
28 of October
Elon Musk became the owner of Twitter. He immediately fired several top managers of the social network:
▪️ CEO
▪️ Head of Legal, Judicial Policy, Trust and Security
▪️ CFO
▪️ General Counsel
All of them received good “golden parachutes” – in the office at the structure. Former CEO Agrawal got the most – $60 million. The CFO received $46 million, the head of the legal department – $20 million.
On the same day, rapper Kanye West’s Twitter account was reinstated, although Musk said he was not involved.
October 31
Musk stated that profile verification would cost $20 per month.
The head of Twitter intends to completely change the approach to user verification. Right now the blue tick is free, but that could change soon.
Ownership mask so that profile verification is available with a Twitter Blue subscription. Now it costs $4.99. According to The Verge, Musk originally wanted to raise the price to $19.99. But then Musk reportedthat the subscription will cost $8 per month.
In addition to the blue tick, paid subscribers get priority in replacements, mentions and searchesthe ability to publish long videos and audio, as well as half as many ads.
It is likely that Musk changed his plans after criticizing Twitter users.
If the New York Times wanted to check its 1,700 or so journalists on this site, it would lose about $400,000 a year. Something tells me media organizations have better things to spend money on than blue check marks.
$20 a month to keep my blue tick? Damn it, they owe me. If this is accepted, I will leave like Enron.

More than 7,000 people work on Twitter. The layoffs will affect almost all departments.

Elon Musk intends to make tweets available to all users. It is currently only available to Twitter Blue subscribers in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Musk said that Twitter will not be recovering deleted profiles in the next few weeks until there is a clear process for doing so.
It’s unlikely that Twitter will ever deplatform, violate the rules, return to construction until we have a clear process for doing so, which is at least a few more weeks.
The Council for Moderating Consumption on Twitter meets representatives with a sense of a sense of sight, in rare, certainly evocative manifestations of right, and groups that have encountered a sharp feeling on the basis of feeling.
