Controversial lawyer Miguna Miguna has announced his stand day after Elon Musk move to charge Twitter users with blue ticks.
However, the General himself, Miguna Miguna, has threatened to lead a mass exodus from Twitter in protest of the proposed charges.
Speaking on his official Twitter account, Miguna chastised Elon Musk, the new owner of Twitter, on Tuesday night for his harsh policy of taxing users with blue badges.
“Mr. Elon Musk: You don’t need the money. Greed is one of the worst sins. Stop exploiting Twitter users. If you persist, we will ORGANIZE a mass exodus from Twitter and turn your “investment” into a nightmare! Continue pushing us!!” he tweeted
Miguna went ahead and pointed out that Musk is a wealthy man, and the decision appears to be motivated by “greed.”
“You are by far the wealthiest person on earth, what are you ripping people off for?” he posed.
However, the lawyer, who has a large Twitter following, did not provide evidence for the alleged greed he mentioned.
This comes barely weeks after he returned to the country from Canada, where he had been in exile since his unceremonious eviction in 2018.
This also comes after Twitter announced plans to charge blue verification badge users on a monthly basis.
Musk had planned to charge Sh2,429 ($20), but changed his mind after widespread anger. While looking for solution, Musk came to a conclusion of $8 per month for Twitter blue.
“Twitter’s current lords & peasants’ system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark. Power to the people! Blue for $8/month,” he said.
Furthermore, Musk stated that the fees will range depending on the country due to variances in purchasing power.
“Price adjusted by country proportionate to purchasing power parity,” Musk tweeted.
Currently, the company only grants verified status to notable accounts from a prominently recognized individual or brand.
