Amitabh Bachchan Wants Elon Musk To Refund Money He Paid For Blue Tick

Indian actor Amitabh Bachchan has a cheeky reply to Twitter that seems to be giving out free Blue Ticks to users with over one million followers. On April 20, Mr. Bachchan was one of the first prominent Twitter users in India to pay the 900 rupees per month Blue subscription fee to keep the coveted Blue badge on his profile. But over the weekend, the Elon Musk-owned platform made a U-turn, and the actor thinks his money was wasted because he has over 48 million (or four crores) followers. Khel khatam, paise hazam (game over, cash gone),” he composed on Twitter.

Amitabh Bachchan Thanks Elon Musk

Bachchan thanked Elon Musk after receiving the green light, nearly two days after receiving the Twitter Blue subscription. The actor also sent a humorous tweet to the new Twitter owner, evoking a Hindi song.
Be that as it may, Twitter has now begun including Blue Tick profiles with north of 1,000,000 supporters, strangely. It could be because a lot of famous people don’t want to pay for a Twitter Blue subscription, which gives them access to exclusive features like long-form tweets and an edit/undo button. The idea of paying for the blue tick did not appeal to a lot of Indian celebrities, including Deepika Padukone, Virat Kohli, and Shah Rukh Khan, who all lost the blue tick. Twitter is also receiving criticism from users with fewer followers and an ex-legacy badge at the same time.

On the platform, a trend called “Block the Blue” is taking off.

While many users are dissatisfied with the free badge, Bachchan is unhappy with having to pay for the blue tick. Musk previously stated that he is responsible for paying for the Twitter Blue subscriptions of Stephen King and LeBron James. King and other people have asked Musk to donate the $8 to charity instead of paying for the subscription. “I think Mr. Musk should give my blue check to charity,” the author of IT and the Shinning stated. The lifesaving services provided in Ukraine by the Prytula Foundation merit my recommendation. Since it only costs $8, maybe Mr. Musk could add a little more.”

Some actors are content to receive the Blue Tick without a subscription. For instance, Charlie Sheen from Two and a Half Men wrote, “Oh my!” in appreciation to Musk for paying for his blue tick. It’s like my birthday and Christmas all at once! I’m overwhelmed with gratitude, @elonmusk. Good sir, rock star move. In his response to Sheen, Musk also said, “You’re welcome.”
