Billionaire entrepreneur and CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, says Twitter commercial and government users may have to pay to use the micro-blogging platform.
Musk hinted this on Wednesday morning, a week after acquiring the platform at $44 billion.
Allaying fears by the majority that his takeover might lead to commercialization of the social media platform, Musk in a tweet in the early hours of Wednesday, said commercial and government users will pay for the platform but the micro-blogging site would “always” remain free for casual users.
He wrote, “Twitter will always be free for casual users, but maybe a slight cost for commercial/government users.”
Justifying his move to commercialize the platform for commercial and government users in a series of tweets, the billionaire entrepreneur said free services led to the downfall of great businesses.
Musk, in a reply to a tweet, added, “Some revenue is better than none!”
