Twitter CEO Elon Musk responded to Meta's announcement of paid verification for Instagram and Facebook, calling it "inevitable."
Meta is testing the new paid verification system, which will cost $11.99 per month for the web and $14.99 per month for mobile.
Former Twitter executive Sriram Krishnan, who is now an adviser to Musk, praised the new system and said it will end the old world of verification and badges online forever.
Some Twitter users expressed their opinions on the new paid verification system, with some calling Facebook a "worthless wasteland" and others suggesting that verification will become just another business expense.
