Furious at this decision, Navratilova threw shade at Musk. She said, “I Never got any spam in direct messages- sounds to me like another Musk scam to force us into paying…“. According to her, Musk is trying to gain more Twitter Blue subscribers, which requires users to pay $8 per month. Any user can access that and operate with a verified tick next to their name. Many celebrities, including Navratilova, haven’t subscribed to it and they go without the tick.

This wasn’t the first time when Navratilova went against Elon Musk. It was only a few days ago when she had negative reviews about his new car model.
