Elon Musk has warned Twitter employees to brace for the difficult times ahead that might end with the collapse of the social media platform if they can't find new ways of making money. The new boss has upped the price for the Twitter Blue subscription to $8 and attached user verification to it. In a second email to employees, Musk said the “absolute top priority" over the coming days is to suspend “bots/trolls/spam" exploiting the verified accounts. Musk had previously expressed distaste for Twitter's pandemic-era remote work policies that enabled team leaders to decide if employees had to show up in the office. Musk is, of course, fundamentally overhauling platform offerings, and it's not known if he is telling the FTC about it.
