Kathy Burke has gone in on new Twitter boss Elon Musk after speculation around new fees for those with Blue Ticks emerged.

Musk’s £38billion takeover of Twitter is set to bring in some changes, with rumours the Blue Tick may become a paid feature with a £20 a month charge for users – such as celebrities, journalists and public figures – to retain their verified status.

He tweeted about the update on Sunday, telling users: ‘The whole verification process is being revamped right now.’

While the changes are yet to be confirmed, it appears comedian Burke isn’t really a fan of this potential new fee and called out the Tesla billionaire, insisting he should, in fact, be paying her for her stellar Twitter thoughts.

She didn’t mince her words as she addressed the billionaire businessman and tweeted: ‘Musk can f**k off with his idea of charging blue-tickers.

‘I give my all to this hell site for FREE. Cheeky b**** should be paying ME. Don’t need the poxy thing anyway.’

Before she ended with a rousing, humorous declaration: ‘He may take our vibes but he’ll never take our memedom!’

It has been reported that these new features could launch as early as November 7. 

Amid criticism of the changes, former US President Donald Trump has spoken out in support of Musk’s acquisition of the social network on his own site, Truth Social. 

The former US President was banned from Twitter after the Capitol attack in January, but he was ‘very happy’ about the change of hands.

‘TRUTH SOCIAL has become somewhat of a phenomena,’ Trump wrote. ‘Last week it had bigger numbers than all other platforms, including TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, and the rest. 

‘It also looks and works better to my eye. I am very happy that Twitter is now in sane hands, and will no longer be run by Radical Left Lunatics and Maniacs that truly hate our country.’
