Why Elon Musk's Starting to Charge the People to Be Verified on Twitter

Trevor: Elon Musk is scrambling to figure out, you know, how to make this whole thing work. He said he's going to start charging people $8 a month to be verified with a blue check mark next to their name. Trevor: If you're trying to create equality on Twitter, why charge anyone to be verified? Huh? Yeah, just give everyone ablue check mark then. Why are you charging the people? Give it to everyone for free, or give it to no one, right?
