Commercial and government users of Twitter may be charged.
Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur, says Twitter Inc TWTR.N will always be free for casual users, but may charge a small price for commercial and government users, as he strives to expand the social media platform’s reach from “niche” to the majority of Americans.
“Twitter will always be free for casual users,” Musk wrote in a tweet, “but there may be a slight penalty for commercial/government users.”
When approached by Reuters, Twitter declined to comment.
Since last month, Tesla CEO Elon Musk TSLA.O has proposed a slew of modifications to Twitter. Musk claimed he intended to improve the platform with additional features, make the algorithms open source to encourage confidence, and defeat the firm after recently adding it to his cart.
