Twitter may not remain free for all; Elon Musk drops hints

On Wednesday, Elon Musk dropped a hint on Twitter that a slight fee may be charged for government and commercial usage. It means, that if the decision is made in the future, then Twitter may not remain a free platform. He, however, clarified that for “casual users”, Twitter will always be free.

Writing on Twitter, Musk said, “Twitter will always be free for casual users, but maybe a slight cost for commercial/government users.”

Although, no decision has been made yet and it may turn out to be Musk’s other way of taking a poll on the idea. However, it is evident that Twitter is up for multiple changes once the deal is closed and Musk becomes the new head.

Meanwhile, at the Met Gala event, Musk said that he aims to make it better. “Right now it’s sort of niche. I want a much bigger percentage of the country to be on it, engaging in dialogue,” he said.

The Tesla owner has been suggesting changes in the platform with respect to features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeat spam bots, and authenticate all humans.
