      As part one such discussions, Elon Musk tweeted that everybody who pays for special services offer by Twitter Blue must get an authentication checkmark, different from “public figure” and “official account” checkmarks to side-line bots.

      On the same thread, the SpaceX CEO said Twitter Blue fees should be proportionate to affordability in local currency, proposing DOGE as an option.

      Elon Musk Dogecoin as “the people’s crypto” in the past, citing a survey that claimed nearly 33% of cryptocurrency owners in the US own DOGE assets.
