“Twitter will always be free for regular users, but there may be a small fee for commercial/government users.

Twitter will always be free for casual users, but maybe a slight cost for commercial/government users
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 3, 2022
Twitter declined to comment for Reuters.
Last week, Musk said he was considering ways to monetize it, along with lowering executive pay in order to cut costs at the company. The billionaire proposed introducing new ways to make money on important or viral tweets.
Musk also believes that Twitter is now too “niche” coverage, and he wants more users to participate in the social network.
Even before Elon Musk announced his desire to make Twitter a private company, he bought a 9% stake in the social network , and then proposed to make changes to the Twitter Blue service, reducing the cost of access, banning advertising and introducing payment in Dogecoin cryptocurrency .
