Twitter Blue will likely “come back end of next week”, billionaire owner Elon Musk said in a tweet on Saturday.

Twitter on Friday stopped its recently declared $8 blue check subscription service on Friday as fake accounts expanded.

The sought after blue check mark was recently saved for verified accounts of politicians, famous personalities, journalists and other public figures. Be that as it may, a subscription option, open to anybody prepared to pay, was carried out earlier this week to assist Twitter with developing income as Musk battles to retain advertisers.

A few clients reported on Friday that the new subscription option for the blue verification check mark had disappeared, while a source told the offering has been dropped.

“To combat impersonation, we’ve added an ‘Official’ label to some accounts,” Twitter’s support account – which has the “official” tag – tweeted on Friday.

The label was initially presented on Wednesday – yet “killed” by Musk only hours after the fact.

On Thursday, in his first companywide email, Musk cautioned that Twitter wouldn’t have the option to “survive the upcoming economic downturn” if it failed to support subscription revenue to offset falling advertising income, three individuals who saw the message told.
