The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, has revealed that Twitter commercial and government users may have to pay to use the micro-blogging platform.
Twitter had, on Monday, April 25, confirmed the selling of the platform to Musk in a deal valued at $44 billion.
Confirming fears by the majority that his takeover might lead to the 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.
However, he said the micro-blogging site would “always” remain free for casual users.
Justifying his action in a series of tweets, the billionaire entrepreneur said free services led to the downfall of great businesses.
He wrote, “Twitter will always be free for casual users, but maybe a slight cost for commercial/government users.”
