The user had revealed that the Twitter Employees used to demand $15000 Secretly to get verified status in account

[{"selector":"#anim-6376aebc-439e-40a8-aefe-cfbb53bb3426","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7949d52d-c64b-45f3-80ef-1d0f84ea07c4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.09434%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

So this is not the first Time Twitter is charging for verification on accounts

[{"selector":"#anim-b24ce48c-8e93-4f85-82e1-c4d9d60fa751","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d12e6d8b-f111-425b-9c53-1323217cf0fb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -492.86305%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Instead Elon Musk's official pricing $8,

is too cheap than this secret fee which Twitter used to charge
