After facing a massive inflow of fake profiles with verified badges, Twitter CEO Elon Musk on Sunday said that the $8 Blue subscription service, pulled back by the micro-blogging site after facing strong criticism, is likely to be back by the end of next week.

Twitter paused its Blue service with verification after facing a slew of criticism last week as people bought the verified badge with Blue service, created fake accounts imitating big brands like Eli Lilly and Mario, and posted false tweets that left several brands embarrassed and had to issue statements.
