Elon Musk Issues A Twitter-Related Apology, suspends $8 Twitter Blue program

Elon Musk, the new CEO of Twitter, issued an apology on Sunday for the microblogging service’s “super slow” performance in several nations. Moments before, when he said, “Twitter feels increasingly alive,” he apologized.

“Btw, I’d like to apologize for Twitter being super slow in many countries. App is doing >1000 poorly batched RPCs just to render a home timeline,” Musk said in a tweet.

In addition, Musk teased the release of a new feature because the business had to halt its $8 Twitter Blue program due to the proliferation of bogus accounts with the verified blue tick.

“Rolling out soon, Twitter will enable organizations to identify which other Twitter accounts are actually associated with them,” he said in another tweet.

Previously, only verified accounts of well-known people, like politicians, journalists, and public figures, were given the blue tick. But this week, Twitter launched a subscription service that anyone could join for just $8 per month.

The corporation had a significant challenge as a result of numerous people imitating well-known brands on the website. Although the program was halted last Friday, Musk predicted it would resume by the “end of next week.”

For other accounts, Twitter also added the “Official” badge, although it disappeared unexpectedly hours later.
