). Referring to Musk as “the guy who always looks like a ghost, whether it’s Halloween or not,” Noah reasoned that charging people for blue check marks goes against Musk’s mission of bringing free speech and equality to Twitter.
“So, here’s my question: If you’re trying to create equality on Twitter, why charge anyone to be verified? Just give everyone a blue checkmark then,” Noah said. “Why are you charging people? It doesn’t make sense to offer it as ‘equality’ and then put a price on it, do you get what I’m saying? Can you imagine if MLK was out there like, ‘I have a dream. I have a dream…and I’ll tell you all about it for $8.99 a month.’ It wouldn’t be the same thing.
According to reports, Musk originally planned to jack up the price of the Twitter Blue subscription plan from $4.99 to $19.99 per month, and the service would be the only way to retain verified-user status. Users would have 90 days to join the subscription program or have their verified status revoked. After backlash over the $19.
Noah appeared to be referencing reports about the N-word spiking 500% in use on Twitter in the 12 hours after Musk took over the company. Musk later noted about his decision to jack up the price of Twitter Blue, “I will explain the rationale in longer form before this is implemented. It is the only way to defeat the bots & trolls.”
Noah not funny
And they will pay it too if he charge lmao
Trevor Noah lost me when he said gender reveals are wrong because the child hasn't decided what gender it is yet.
🤣🤣🤣awww, did the precious blue check mark just become irrelevant. Pay up cheapskate
Charge the African Americans and retire 😂
Does he know he’s white too? Weird.
Trevornoah you are brilliant. Bravo from France 👊🏾
But charge Black ppl to say the word and Twitter will go off the chart in profit. I couldn't tell you last time I heard a White person use the N-word. Hear it from Blacks all the time. Black to Black like it's a term of endearment other times in hate?⚖️ I hear Cracker a lot. 🤷js
Racist racist racist used up Entitled black dude
Why does every fucking thing have to be about race. Also, doesn’t Trevor Noah exclusively date white women?!
Maybe you should look at yourself butt face
oh Trevor, i feel so bad for you. get a life!!
DemandingCow Brilliant.
A bunch of bull crap!
What's wrong with those two African-American people.. Elon and that other man
Trevor you get paid to spout BS
notsopius I have yet to see the n word on twitter ever. Must be something thats used in leftists inner circles.
If Trevor Noah got paid everytime he said something funny, he'd be homeless
That's just false. I used to find him funny and I know there's a brain in there but this is nonsense.
Interesting how two famous men from two different walks of life. One born with a silver spoon in his mouth, the other on the other side of the tracks. Apartheid finally got front row seats at the MGMGrand. Go for it Trevornoah.
If people call me the W-word (whitie), I say thank you. Why is that? Everybody is the same.
This isn't as clever as he wants us to think it is.
Another idea would be to charge $1 for every time someone uses the term “white supremacy” or any of its derivatives. Even better how about $5 every time a “ fact checker” gets it wrong?
Trevor is an unfunny clown.
Y'know, I don't think I've ever seen the 'N' word on Twitter. I have however (unfortunately) heard plenty of rap music that's comprised of little else. So...stop clutching your pearls Trev. If I were you I'd be working on some material that was actually funny, it's been a while.
who?
BradleyWhitford Trevornoah any one who says shit like that IS the racist. It’s how you think. It’s who you are. It’s how you see the world.
Trever Noah seldomly brings race into his dialogue. This is surprising.
Both born and bred in South Africa😂😘
Democrats are always stirring up the racial stuff before the election. How could anyone at Variety think this story was a good idea?
He's make a hell of a lot more money by charging the black people when THEY say it. And NO, just because you are black doesn't mean it's OK for you to use the word but not others! Either the word is offensive to you, or it isn't. PERIOD!
Who's Trevor
Just pay your 8 bucks loser
Trevor Noah should pay us for being on TV
That's a great idea!! Fine anyone who uses the n word online.... any variation of the word.
Trevor Noah is the most unfunny person out there—I’m glad u guys aren’t calling him a Comedian anymore. When in doubt, just fall back on the ole “Racism” narrative. Guy is one of the MOST privileged people. His show doesn’t suck cuz he’s kinda black, it sucks b/c he sucks. Hard.
So he's saying he can't afford $8 anymore?
Noah is an irrelevant parrot
What's Trevornoah's take on the use of the N-word in rap and hip hop songs?
I still don't get how we got from blue checkmarks to racism...Is racism & bigotry really the only way out of any argument here?
Who the hell is say the n word? I've never seen it on Twitter.
Charge rich people $8 a month to get a service no one else cares about and Twitter will be the most transparent evidence the the rich and famous are out of touch with reality
Dont they ban u for that?
Guess it's cool to shit on white people now.
Yes, if people weren't afraid to speak anymore they would only say that one thing.
Bogus race card again.
what if people dont though. we dont know yet let see what happened.
It’s the elitist who are up in arms. oh my rich famous people have to pay $8 it’s so embarrassing the level of narcissism in some people. The entitlement is grotesque. 🤢 cry me a river Noah 🥲elonmusk
So all white people are racist? Trevornoah
Maga would be sending money like twitter was Kenneth Copeland
? Because white people saying the N word is so popular right now? Huh?
Tell me again how media & media figures are not intentionally race baiting society? It's an $8 verification fee, not a subscription fee & fees are not uncommon on private platforms. 🤣
Naaa, I listen to urban music in order to hear the N-word. Trevor Noah, after failing at his TV show, continues his race-bating rhetoric, nonetheless.
Noah is correct . But if you criticize trump you get blocked . It happened to me on first day . I been on Twitter for 5 years .
damn... if that is the case, lots of rappers will go bankrupcy.. Are you sure you want to do this?
You really live in an alternate universe because I know so many people who wouldn't even thing about saying the N word.
Trevor himself is pretty racist tbh
Why is everything about race dude?
How dare he talk about a fellow African American that way. The reverse caucasity of him
Who actually cares what Trevor Noah has to say, like seriously?
Because racism sells, doesn't it, Variety?
It's hilarious seeing all these rich people whine about $8 a month.
As a direct descendant and major beneficiary of the racist Apartheid system that’s easy for Elon to grasp
pay up Trevornoah elonmusk wants your $8 by friday or you are out 🤡
Now is this a n word subscription or each use $8? I feel like there should be two plans, a “gga” version for like $5 a month and the hard r will cost you $12.
That’s how rappers get rich
🤣 What?
Who is Trevornoah ? Is that the guy who was canceled by Comedy Central ? Every so often I see a commercial clip of him trying to be funny, it never is . Thank GOD it’s a 2 second clip . elonmusk
Charging liberal blue checks $8 to say ‘Trump’s Fault’ or ‘MAGA is racist’ will recoup $44billion in a year in a minute🤡 Trevornoah
Did he do ANY research at all? If he did he’d see you only need to pay to be verified…
lmao the best satire is real life
If you cancel ye and close his banks account then do that same thing to people who use the nword here .. use that same cancel energy. Remember .. Free speech ain't free right ?
LIBERALISM IS A DISEASE.
This isn't real it's all just a narrative that was pushed in lock step. They do this shit all the time and usually only focus on a couple of them at any given time. This time they want to attack free speech because someone typed the n word even though I haven't seen it once.
Trevor Noah 🥴😑😂😂
There are real people who think this is a comedic zinger. Astounding.
We are sick of the fake scared woke tactics and you weirdos are to slow to realize you circus freaks are losing
Since the rules haven't been decided, how can you intelligently speculate on anything? You can't.
Would this not expose the racists so we can stop listening to those people of ill intent, and make them poorer in the process. Seems like a win/win. Better to shine the light on the mold of society, than keep it in the dark to fester and grow.
Why does Trevor Noah get much attention? It is so weird.
Noah!! Go Home!! Your Not from America!! Kick Rocks!! You're Country Needs You!! Cause We Have Enough Trash!! Foreign Fk!!
But black people get to say it for free. No thanks, I'll say it for free too.
Trevor you are a sad sad little boy. I pity you for your denial of Christ Jesus and your full commitment to Satan. I promise you it won’t be worth it in the end. And thank you for exposing yourself as the REAL racist when you say white people, suggesting no other skin group lol
Why not charge news companies when they post false information?
I’m sure 75% of the people in these replies constantly claim they “don’t even see skin color” 😂🤣😂
non blacks*
The only people I ever, EVER hear/see say the n-word -- other than a handful of high profile leftists denigrating Justice Thomas after the Roe verdict, that is -- are black.
Desperation is a stinky cologne Trevor
Wow, what a leap!
Let’s Noah’s the next one elonmusk bans!
Wait a minute?! Stop the presses. Trevor Noah made a funny joke? LOL, I'll give him credit for that one, though I think Elon is trying to weed out the racists. We'll all have to stay tuned.
Elon u bored go sit down somewhere and learn to enjoy ur life ....smh with all that money......chile.....please
🖕🏼 Trevor!
True dat
Gotta love the comments fron angry white people who have no clue whats going on
Okay whatever noah says is a joke. Just saying it rn before people start getting offended. He's a comedian.
Trevor Noah just needs to leave america. Why the hell are you even here? Oh that’s right… the “antisemite” people gave good black soldier a couple bucks! Fuckin WEIRDO
Stop race baiting
Show me actual tweets where people have been saying the N word and it wasn't coming from a black guy. No clue who this trevor guy is and don't care. All he spreading is fake news.
? how is this related to the $8 plan? wtf does race have to do with this
always gotta bring up the N word to get your point across. Trevor is a scab.
Sounds like something Variety would peddle to divide people.
Noah been that guy that secretly hates white people.
Pay to hear the “N”word ? Why would anyone do that when blacks use it so frequently that it’s become meaningless. Similar to the word “racist.” But, would certainly pay to send you back to SA.
Trevornoah grew up with people like elonmusk calling him the k word. I speak from personal experience. I, like Noah and Musk was born there. There is nothing that isn't fair game for the world's richest man.
hasLeftist did he lie tho?💀
Trevor is desperate for recognition after loosing the show. Let’s post who uses the work , 60% pod, 30% x slave party Dems, 10 % other .
Oh my god he's right tho.
Pretty stupid post but I guess if your business is race batting then it makes sense
Pay up!
I wouldn't really consider this a slamming
If Trevor were funny he’d be saying to charge leftists for using the N-word since comedy should have some truth in it to be funny.
Racist. The real problem is people think we think things we don't think. Tell Trevor to gfh.
Umm can you give us one good reason you think anyone really cares what Trevor thinks? 🤷♂️
Trevor is human trash who uses his platform to further cause division amongst ppl, and he does it while making false statements that would have been true if they were the opposite.
All this will do is force more people into paying for a Blue account. Those who can't afford $8 a month, and more as the price goes up, will be the same as those who are shadowbanned now. No exposure on twitter and thus few engagements.
Wasn't the left calling Clearance Thomas the n-word just a few months ago?
That's the one thing they'll let you do for free.
CELEBRITIES ARE ACTUALLY UPSET OVER $8 ON TWITTER HAHAHAHAHA
Trevornoah elonmusk 🤡🤡🤡🤡 Wait a minute Trevor Noah is WHITE! And black people use the N word more than anyone else. But I guess that's okay. It's like how most black people are killed by other black people, but that's not an issue. I'm a confused clown 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Ahhhh there it is…..made it about race 🤣 knew it wouldn’t take long
He’s so boring 🥱
White people only say the N-word on 4chan. You won't get banned there.
Noah is a race baiter. No one listens to him anymore. Tired of his lies.
Trevornoah doesn't know how billionaires stay billionaires. It's called making money.
So many of “them” want to say it so bad, their heads’ are about to explode. Sorry, we declawed you of it..and using it could be at your own peril …literally. 😂😂😂😂😂
lolol spot on
Trevor Noah has the hugest Hollywood 🐓 for this
Variety pushing trevornoah's racism and bigotry.
How does this no talent bidophile have a job?
Trevor Noah is a racist.
They don’t stop
Noah .. go pound sand you femboy.
Omfg
Always race hustling
Trevor Noah tried to equate spending money for a blue check to racism? That's a big step. Can he not afford his blue check?
Also not a bad idea for monetizing
When is Trevor just gonna keep his bek?
Trevornoah is trying to break into the race hustling game, I don’t think JoyAnnReid TiffanyDCross jemelehill and the OG race hustler TheRevAl are going to want more competition
Amazing how many people think freedom is free ?
😂
Stop promoting Tever's personal temper tantrums.
It’s funny that people who are worth millions are the ones complaining about $8 ducking dollars.
Trevornoah still trying to stay relevant?
More race baiting. Just what we need. Musk does have a point that Twitter's current verified system is like 'lords and peasants'.
It ain't white people dropping n bombs all over the platform every day.
Imagine being a Millionaire and crying about $8 a month. Hint: It's not about the money, it's about their hatred for Elon.
What a race-baiting jerk. I’m so glad he won’t be on tv much longer. He brings nothing of substance to our discourse, and worse, he’s not even funny.
Two African Americans fighting. Smh
Tell me Trevor are you a true racist or just borderline!
'If Elon Musk wants to make money from Twitter, what he should do [is], don’t charge people for blue checkmarks. Charge white people to say the N-word. Twitter will be the most profitable company in history. Racists will be taking out loans.”
He’s definitely not lying 🤷🏾♀️
Why are rich people complaining about $8? 😂
Oh look, another clown making it about race for no reason at all
