Musk considers ‘slight’ Twitter fee

NEW YORK: Elon Musk said this week that Twitter might charge a “slight” fee for commercial and government users, part of the billionaire entrepreneur’s push to grow revenue which has lagged behind larger rivals like Meta Platforms’ Facebook.

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

Last week, Musk told banks he would develop new ways to monetise tweets and crack down on executive pay to slash costs at the social media platform company.

He also planned to develop features to grow business revenue.
