On the 27th of this month, it has been a month since American entrepreneur Elon Musk acquired Twitter.

Mr. Mask is trying to secure new sources of income, such as revealing that he will start a paid authentication service to prove that the account belongs to him from next month.

Elon Musk acquired Twitter on the 27th of last month for $44 billion, or more than 6 trillion yen in Japanese yen.



After that, it embarked on a large-scale personnel reduction, and according to the American media, the number of employees who have been reduced due to dismissal or retirement by the 21st of this month is said to be 5,000, which is more than 60% of the total.



Under these circumstances, Mr. Mask announced that he will temporarily start a paid authentication service to prove that the account belongs to him from the 2nd of next month.



The aim is to secure a new source of income that does not rely on advertising.



Until now, the certification mark has been given only to celebrities, but from now on, individuals, including ordinary people, will be given a blue mark, government agencies will be given a gray mark, and companies will be given a gold mark.



After the acquisition, Mr. Mask raised the price of the paid service so far and started a service to give marks to ordinary people, but the number of fake accounts increased rapidly and was forced to be suspended.



This time, the idea is to increase reliability by confirming by people.
