Musk 'kills' new Twitter label, hours after launch

SAN FRANCISCO: Twitter launched two new verification tools on Wednesday but 'killed' one of them hours later in a messy start to owner Elon Musk's campaign to revamp the influential platform following his $44 billion buyout.

The social media platform unveiled its long-awaited Twitter Blue subscription service, which allows users to pay $7.99 per month for a coveted blue tick, as well as a separate gray 'official' badge for some high-profile accounts.
