San Francisco, May 04, 2022: Elon Musk said on Tuesday Twitter Inc TWTR.N may charge a slight fee for commercial and government users. He, however, said the microblogging site will remain free for casual users.

 

"Twitter will always be free for casual users, but maybe a slight cost for commercial/government users," Tesla chief Elon Musk, who bought 100 per cent stake in Twitter for approximately $44 billion last month, said in a tweet early Wednesday.

Elon Musk has been suggesting a raft of changes to Twitter since last month. After taking over the microblogging site, Musk said he wanted to enhance the platform with new features.

Moreover, recent reports claimed that billionaire Elon Musk has reportedly lined up a new chief executive for Twitter who will replace Parag Agrawal once the $44 billion sale deal is completed later this year.

Elon Musk also plans to fire Twitter’s legal head Vijaya Gadde, a report from The New York Post said.

Last month, even before reaching a deal with Twitter, Elon Musk had suggested a few changes to the Twitter Blue premium subscription service, including slashing its price.

At the annual Met Gala in New York on Monday, Elon Musk said he would make Twitter transparent about how tweets are promoted or demoted and wanted its software to be publicly available for critique.
