Elon Musk, who recently took over Twitter, has issued an ultimatum to engineers over a new project.

According to The Verge, Musk intends to introduce a pay-for-play verification system that will charge verified users $20 each month.

The catch is that engineers have until November 7 to begin the plan or risk losing their jobs. The project was only announced to employees on October 30.

According to the Verge story, the price of verification is subject to change. The fee will also include as-yet unidentified other features.

Since first proposing to buy Twitter, Musk has made it clear that he intends to shake things up at the social media behemoth.

Musk tweeted hours before The Verge report: ‘The entire authentication procedure is being redesigned right now.’
