Elon Musk tweeted that Twitter will always be free for ‘casual users,’ as he raised the prospect of a ‘maybe tiny cost’ for government and commercial users.
Elon Musk gave a big hint about what Twitter will be like under his leadership when he unveiled his plans to turn Twitter into a paywall social media site. However, he added that Twitter will always be free for “casual users,” but that a small fee may be levied on commercial and government users. “Ultimately, the Freemasons’ downfall was giving away their stonecutting services for free,” Musk tweeted, laying the groundwork for a Twitter charge.
Twitter Blue, which allows Twitter’s most loyal fans exclusive access to premium features and app customization for a small monthly subscription charge, is a similar concept. In the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, Twitter Blue is available on iOS, Android, and the web.
While Twitter Blue provides unique services to its paying customers, Musk suggests that commercial and government users will have to pay to utilise the basic platform. Musk has clearly kept the notion at a state of possibility and his tweet is a test of the water, as he has inserted a’maybe’.
The future of Twitter is mired in uncertainty following Elon Musk’s $44 billion purchase of the social media company. According to some sources, Elon Musk intends to relaunch Twitter after a three-year hiatus.
On the one hand, Musk appears to want to eliminate free Twitter, but he also wants to expand Twitter’s reach beyond the ‘niche’ audience. On the one hand, Musk appears to want to eliminate free Twitter, but he also wants to expand Twitter’s reach beyond the ‘niche’ audience. “It’s kind of niche right now.” Musk said at the annual Met Gala in New York, “I want a substantially larger percentage of the country to be on it, engaging in discourse.” Musk stated that he wants Twitter to be “as inclusive as possible,” with “hopefully the majority of America on it and conversing,” as well as “as trustworthy as possible.”
