Elon Musk considering twitter paywall
Washington, Nov 8 (UNI): Elon Musk and his advisor David Sacks have discussed in recent meetings the idea of setting up a paywall to charge a subscription fee to most or all Twitter users, Platformer reported, citing an unnamed source.
One approach may allow free use for a limited amount of time each month before requiring a subscription, the source said.
It is unclear how serious Musk is about a paywall, amid an ongoing debate about how Twitter will generate revenue following his $44 billion takeover, but it does not appear that a paywall will be introduced imminently, the report said on Monday.
Since Musk took control of the social media platform on October 27, he has taken a number of controversial steps ranging from mass layoffs to introduction of a $8 monthly fee for user verification.
