Twitter has reportedly told businesses to pay $1,000 per month for retaining gold badges.
As per a report by Economic Times, the Elon-Musk run company which is busy in monetising the platform will also charge an extra $50 for accounts affiliated to the brand's account.
Twitter had rolled out gold badges ahead of its Verification for Organisations programme (formerly called Blue for Business), which allows brands to "verify and distinguish" themselves on Twitter.
Musk had said that all legacy verified accounts will soon lose their Blue badges as those are 'deeply corrupted'.
