Twitter has consistently underperformed other social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube in terms of revenue. However, Twitter is now testing a premium subscription service called Twitter Blue in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, which includes additional capabilities.
Just weeks after announcing his desire to buy Twitter for $44 billion, Elon Musk has stated that businesses and governments may soon have to pay a "slight cost" to use the social media network.
In a late Tuesday tweet, the tech tycoon, who is also the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, stated that the platform will remain free for "casual users."
It's unclear how much Musk wants to charge businesses and governments, or whether some groups, including as non-profits and journalists, will be excluded.

He spoke at a TED conference last month about how he plans to alter the company, which has more than 200 million users worldwide. Musk also stated that all Twitter direct conversations should be end-to-end encrypted, ensuring that no one can monitor or hack a user's communications.
