Twitter’s new owner, Elon Musk has highlighted some changes that might be coming to the social media platform.
The Billionaire tech CEO disclosed this on the platform itself through his own personal account.
He wrote,
“Twitter will always be free for casual users, but maybe a slight cost for commercial/government users,”. In another tweet, he added “Some revenue is better than none!”.
It was also reported earlier that Elon Musk told banks that he would develop new ways to monetize tweets.
Last month, Twitter accepted the $44 billon offer from Musk to buy the platform outright. This came after the Twitter board tried to block the world’s richest man’s offer to buy the platform. However, Musk didn’t falter and eventually got the deal through.
Musk has been detailing some plans he has for Twitter in the near future. Changes like adding an edit button, removing all bots and loosening content moderation.

When asked about his plans for Twitter during the MET Gala on Monday, He said,
“My goal, assuming everything gets done, is to make Twitter as inclusive as possible and to have as broad a swathe of people on Twitter as possible.”
