The new owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, has already begun to alter the microblogging platform. After taking over, he fired top executives on his first day and reportedly planned to fire more employees beginning in November. He also intends to change account verification policies and increase the character limit on tweets. It may seem obvious, but there must be a team of people assisting him in making and carrying out these decisions. One such name is A16z's Sriram Krishnan, who admitted in a tweet that he is temporarily 'helping out' Elon Musk with Twitter.

"Now that the word is out, I'm temporarily assisting @elonmusk with Twitter and some other fantastic people." "I (and a16z) believe this is a hugely important company that can have a huge impact on the world, and Elon is the person to make it happen," Krishnan tweeted.

According to the report, users will be required to purchase a Twitter Blue subscription to have their account verified. Existing Twitter Blue subscribers will have 90 days to subscribe or lose their blue tick.
