Tesla boss Elon Musk has said commercial and government users on Twitter may have to pay to use the micro-blogging platform.
The Tesla boss had on Monday, April 25, bought the company in a deal valued at $44 billion.
Musk in a joint statement announcing the takeover said, “Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated.
However, in a tweet in the early hours of Wednesday, Musk said commercial and government users will pay for the platform.
He reiterated that the micro-blogging site would “always” remain free for casual users.
Musk wrote, “Twitter will always be free for casual users, but maybe a slight cost for commercial/government users.
“Some revenue is better than none!”
