Elon Musk seems to all gala about his newly acquired asset – Twitter! Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion, so of course, he can do whatever he wants, and a lot of these early notes and rumours are just that, random ideas that Elon and his pals are throwing around to see if anything comes of them.
Some of them are relevant, some irrelevant. Here’s a quick overview of some of the things that have shaken out from the latest internal meetings, which could point to coming changes at the app.
Elon Musk says Twitter usage is all time high since he took over the witty social media platform.
And while the witty social media platform no longer publishes monthly active user data, on average, monthly active usage is around 44% higher than daily active user counts, based on what we’ve seen on other social apps.
According to internal insight, the current version of Twitter Blue only has around 100,000 active subscribers.
Elon’s grand plan is to force people to pay to use the app by burying tweets from non verified users, and maybe, eventually, paywall the app entirely.
In the words of Musk –
“The net effect will be that, over time, the verified users will pretty much always be at the top of comments and search and you won’t really see… you’ll have to scroll really far to see unverified users.”
The new Twitter Blue will indeed not include any form of ID verification.
Verification without any form of actual ID checking seems like not verification at all, but Twitter’s calling this ‘payment verification’, which it believes will ruin the party for bots and scammers by making it too costly to risk their spam activity.
Elon wants to make Twitter ‘the most accurate source of information about the world’, in line with what the user community views as facts, not anyone else.
In a nutshell, in the coming months, you can expect more head-scratching proposals, which may or may not mean anything.
