Musk hints at plans to make some users pay to use Twitter

Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter may have some strings attached

Elon Musk’s multi-billion-dollar takeover of Twitter may introduce some new changes to the platform.

Under new proposals, business and government users may be charged for having an active account with Musk suggesting they may need to pay a “slight fee”

It comes after the board of Twitter agreed to a $44 billion dollar takeover offer from the Tesla boss.

Elon Musk has however promised that the social media network will always be free for “casual users”.

He’s openly suggested that he wanted to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features.

Musk has also stated that he wanted the platform to become more inclusive where users can express free speech.
