Ever since Elon Musk took over Twitter, there is a lot of chatter around his plans to make revenue with the micro-blogging site. Musk has long been rumoured to monetize the app and now he has finally revealed how some people will be charged for using Twitter. However, there is a huge respite for casual users because Musk has revealed that they will not be charged for using the micro-blogging site. Musk only plans to charge the commercial and government users for Twitter.
Musk has been suggesting a series of changes to Twitter since last month. After adding the company to his cart recently, Musk said he wanted to enhance the platform with new features.
In last week of April, Twitter confirmed the sale of the company to Elon Musk for USD 44 billion. Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal in his statement said “Twitter has a purpose and relevance that impacts the entire world. Deeply proud of our teams and inspired by the work that has never been more important.”
In a tweet, Musk said, “Ultimately, the downfall of the Freemasons was giving away their stonecutting services for nothing.Twitter will always be free for casual users, but maybe a slight cost for commercial/government users. Musk has always maintained that Twitter has a lot of potential and he wants to make changes to it for good.
Apart from enhancing the site, Musk is also going to make some structural changes in the copy. As per reports, Musk will likely replace Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal and even terminate legal head Vijaya Gadde. He recently launched a barrage of attacks on Gadde on Twitter and on some of Twitter’s existing policies.Musk is likely to replace Agrawal only when the $44 billion sale deal is completed later this year.
If Musk fires Gadde, Twitter will have to pay a severance package worth $12.5 million, including Twitter shares to her. Gadde currently makes about $17 million a year and is one of the highly paid executives at the company, the New York Post revealed.
Twitter employees have raised questions about their future ever since Musk took over. However, sources close to the company said that Musk would not make decisions on job cuts until he assumes ownership of Twitter.Live TV
