Just days after taking over Twitter, Elon Musk has issued an ultimatum to engineers over a new project.
According to a report from The Verge, Musk wants to launch a pay-for-play verification system in which verified users are charged $20 per month.
The kicker is that engineers have until November 7 to launch the scheme or face being fired. Employees were only told of the project on October 30.
The Verge report says that the price of the verification is subject to change. The price will also cover so-far unspecified other features.
Since Musk first offered to buy Twitter, the world’s wealthiest man has made it clear he planned to shake things up at the social media giant.
Hours before The Verge report emerged, Musk tweeted: ‘The whole verification process is being revamped right now.’
