Andrew Tate claims he has received over $20,000 as part of Elon Musk’s content creator reward plan on Twitter.

Musk had announced the scheme in June, stating that content creators verified on the platform would be paid for ads served in their replies, with the initial round of payments totaling $5 million.

Tate, who was previously banned from Twitter in 2017 for violating its terms of service with inflammatory tweets, had his account reinstated by Musk after the latter acquired the platform. Despite facing legal issues, Tate’s account has been active on Twitter since November.

The payment scheme has come under scrutiny as some of the first beneficiaries appeared to be high-profile far-right influencers, including right-wing blogger Ian Miles Cheong, leading to questions about the selection process for recipients.

Social media analysts have expressed disappointment that despite generating 61 million impressions on his Twitter account since February 3, 2023, they did not receive any payout.

Tate shared a screenshot of the payment notification, stating that all the funds would go to tatepledge.com.

The payments are facilitated through Stripe and represent a portion of Twitter’s ad revenue, rewarding creators for their contributions to the platform.

While representatives for Twitter have not responded to requests for comments addressing the query, the controversy surrounding the scheme and its beneficiary selection continues to generate discussions on the platform.
