Trevor Noah Slams Elon Musk’s $8 Twitter Plan: ‘Charge White People to Say the N-Word’ and Twitter Will Be the ‘Most Profitable Company'
). Referring to Musk as “the guy who always looks like a ghost, whether it’s Halloween or not,” Noah reasoned that charging people for blue check marks goes against Musk’s mission of bringing free speech and equality to Twitter.
“So, here’s my question: If you’re trying to create equality on Twitter, why charge anyone to be verified? Just give everyone a blue checkmark then,” Noah said. “Why are you charging people? It doesn’t make sense to offer it as ‘equality’ and then put a price on it, do you get what I’m saying? Can you imagine if MLK was out there like, ‘I have a dream. I have a dream…and I’ll tell you all about it for $8.99 a month.’ It wouldn’t be the same thing.
According to reports, Musk originally planned to jack up the price of the Twitter Blue subscription plan from $4.99 to $19.99 per month, and the service would be the only way to retain verified-user status. Users would have 90 days to join the subscription program or have their verified status revoked. After backlash over the $19.
Noah appeared to be referencing reports about the N-word spiking 500% in use on Twitter in the 12 hours after Musk took over the company. Musk later noted about his decision to jack up the price of Twitter Blue, “I will explain the rationale in longer form before this is implemented. It is the only way to defeat the bots & trolls.”
