Elon Musk says Twitter will introduce per-article charging in May | Engadget

Elon Musk, founder and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has announced that Twitter will launch a new feature in May that will allow users to charge followers for access to premium content. Musk stated that the new feature will allow creators, such as journalists and musicians, to make a living out of producing high-quality content, which will improve the overall quality of Twitter. The feature is expected to be a pay-per-article model, allowing users to choose which content they pay to access. Twitter’s move to introduce per-article charging could revolutionize the content creation industry, as it addresses the issue of providing high-quality content in a digital age where information is often easily accessible for free. While some have raised concerns about the potential for the new feature to exacerbate inequality in access to information, it also presents an opportunity for creators to monetize their content without the need for intermediaries such as advertisers. This is certainly an interesting development that may have far-reaching consequences for the future of online content creation and monetization.
