Elon Musk has discussed putting all of Twitter behind a paywall even as the number of users has reportedly soared.
After laying off thousands of staffers days following his $44 billion purchase of the platform, and then announcing that Twitter “Blue” will increase its price to $7.99 per month from $2.99 and automatically provide account verification in the form of a “blue check” to anyone who pays the fee, the hands-on Musk is discussing making Twitter a subscription service, according to Platformer, a Silicon Valley substack run by former editor of The Verge Casey Newton.
Both Musk and Sacks have discussed the idea in recent meetings, Platformer reported, citing a person familiar with the matter.
