Elon Musk proposed lowering the cost of a Twitter Blue subscription and allowing users to pay for a premium service with Dogecoin (DOGE).
The billionaire began a series of tweets by stating the need to give every Twitter Blue subscriber an “authentication checkmark.” He also noted that the platform should stop advertising, as ADs "reinforces the power of corporations to dictate the rules."
One user asked Twitter to introduce a regional pricing policy because the $3 subscription fee is too high for some countries.

Former director of strategic development at Blockstream, Samson Moe, expressed a similar sentiment. According to him, payments through the Lightning Network will also allow account holders to remain anonymous.
As you may remember, in April, Musk bought a 9.2% stake in Twitter for $2.89 billion. The head of Tesla became the largest shareholder of the company and joined its board of directors.
