Musk’s pet project is a paid service called Twitter Blue, which lets users pay for a blue checkmark and a boost in the algorithm. At the same time, the algorithm apparently lowers the visibility of people who aren’t not paying for Twitter Blue users. In other words, have all the free speech you want, unless you don’t want to pay $8 a month, in which case the platform will censor you.
