Twitter is now opening its doors for you to test features and get paid for it

Social media platform Twitter has opened applications from users who want to be the first to test new content subscription and ticketing features – a new way for users to earn money.

Twitter users can apply to get first access to “Super Follows,” which will let them sell exclusive content to paying subscribers, as well as a brand new feature called “Ticketed Spaces,” which allows users to charge for entry into audio chat rooms they host on the platform.

Both features are part of Twitter’s plan to compete with other social media companies such as Facebook and Clubhouse to attract more influential content creators by letting them earn money from fans and followers.

As part of the criteria, users must have at least 10,000 followers on Twitter to be eligible to apply for Super Follows, and at least 1,000 followers to apply for first access to Ticketed Spaces.

Twitter hits pause on verification requests

Twitter says it is aiming to hire “a diverse set of voices,” from the applications.

The company will take a 3% cut of a creator’s revenue until the user hits $50,000 in earnings.

From there, Twitter will bump up its commission to 20%, in order to help up-and-coming creators earn more money at the start.

Twitter will focus on individuals who apply for the features, but will also consider brands, publishers, and nonprofit organisations which have built an audience on the social media platform.

Tesla’s robotaxi reveal sparks excitement

Analysts and investors are eagerly awaiting Elon Musk’s big reveal—a fully functional autonomous vehicle that could revolutionise ride-hailing.

Tesla’s stock has soared 52% since Musk first announced the event in April, reflecting high hopes for the launch of its much-anticipated robotaxi.

The vehicle, dubbed the “Cybercab,” is said to be a sleek, two-seater without a steering wheel or pedals—straight out of the future.

Tesla also teased a ride-hailing app that will summon these driverless cars to pick up riders at their chosen locations.

Not convincing

But not everyone is convinced—some analysts warn that while Musk’s vision is bold, the timeline for these innovations may not deliver immediate results.

Musk has a history of overpromising on autonomous tech, and this event might be more about grand ideas than tangible products.

Tesla first floated the robotaxi idea in 2016, with Musk hinting at a future where owners could lease their cars to others for extra income.

If the software keeps pace with Musk’s ambitions, the future of driverless Teslas might be closer than we think.
