Elon Musk has announced Twitter’s latest push to get people to pay $84 a year for the social network: Twitter will promote only paid subscribers’ tweets, and non-subscribers will not be allowed to vote in polls

. Twitter’s “For You” tab, the first screen that users see when they open the app, curates tweets by using an algorithm. That means it can surface tweets from people you don’t follow. The For You tab will soon only recommend people who pay for the premium Twitter Blue service. “Starting April 15th, only verified accounts will be eligible to be in For You recommendations,” he announced in a tweet Monday evening. “The is the only realistic way to address advanced AI bot swarms taking over.

Although Musk said Twitter is making the change to battle with bot accounts, he later tweeted “That said, it’s ok to have verified bot accounts if they follow terms of service & don’t impersonate a human.” It is part of Musk’s plans to shift Twitter away from being almost completely dependent on advertising dollars for its revenue. A significant portion of Twitter’s ad base has left the platform since Musk took over in October.

Bahahaha the epitome of 'free speech', huh!?!? If you can only have a public shared opinion by paying for it then we will just be stuck reading rich people propaganda

Who needs Twitter tho? Really!

I'll keep my free version..no thanks..you already sell our data .no enough

So it's *officially* just a pyramid scheme. Pay to play. It's FREE SPEECH you have to pay for eh elon ?

Nah

Dividing the haves and have nots, already I see!!

Thought he was all about freedom of speech? Not if he can’t profit off it

I pay your mom $84 a year.

Pay for ---a daily barrage of ads?

🤡🤡

How do I cancel

God I love this man!

Wow, took him less than 6 months to apply apartheid to Twitter. Though I guess when you are in a tough spot you fall back to things you know and love.

Is this making advertisers come back?

Scumbag

Right wing supporters of him will claim this is how the founding fathers wanted voting to work

Remember when he was going to stop being CEO because majority voted for it and he would abide by the poll results? Remember how the majority voted for him to stop being CEO because majority think he's a terrible CEO for twitter?

ГОГ

Free speech absolutist my ass!

This has been going on for about a month already

You all not done with this clown yet? Soon the time is coming .

NO problem…

Honestly this is a great idea it allows for better dialogue, less noise and it’s going to be great for advertisers so they will know exactly how many actual humans are seeing their ads

Yeah… most of us will bail. Twitter isn’t THAT important, elonmusk...

Me watching Twitter burn like Rome. burning

He about to find out how the folks at Coca Cola felt when they tried to give us “New Coke”

So the polls’results will be unrepresentative so not worth much! Oh well.

That sucks!!

Subscribers are Americans only?

You will only get a snapshot of an unrepresentative crowd

Tuuun tuuun tuuuuuuun………

hahahahahahaahahahaha...hahahahahahahahaha...hahahahahaha...hahaha...ha...hahahahahahahahaha...hahahahahahhahahahahah...haha...haha...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...ha..ha...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah...!!!

Bye bye

That's a terrible idea !!!! Horrible and cruel! Most families will leave Twittet ! We should just leave NOW!

Not a good move .

Genius doing genius things...

If a tree’s strength is judged while it is still a seed, it is mistaken as weak.” ― Idowu Koyenikan

Twitter is the nation’s newspaper now. Makes sense to have to pay for something like that and hopefully it improves the overall quality (nothing is perfect, and nothing is free anyway).

So, non-subscribers will not be able to vote in secret 'polls'…

What a baby

That will be the end of Twitter !

I’ll delete twitter before I pay.

Is anyone surprised when this dude does the opposite of what he says at this point? I think spending that much on twitter for a meme that no one cared about has broken this man.

Byeeee

that's just my 'data' real selling business maybe takes investments , would feature me xoxoxo CNN , ther richest 'music 'star let's say , dont' forget me 'remarried bill face of corporal censorship thnus citizenship , yo mamama grad grad bash 2x , first apartment in my home C

Capitalists in polls !!

I’ve never paid for this, and I’m not going to start. I’m fine watching Twitter as a glorified RSS feed.

i said llllong ago , Elon Musk , Bill Gates, All The Technology Politicial Scientific Perfect is 'LOCAL NEWS' , Elon Musk maybe Local Microwave , Bill Gates King5 Seattle ,

Wow, that will rake in tens of dollars......

Keep your Twitter. Do ya not know what $84 is to a poor person? The entire mass of tweeters will fly away and rich dudes can complain about how hard it is for a billionaire to make any money

Desperation has set in.

Who cares !

Love how you totaled the 7.00 a month to make it sound bad.. total up your Starbucks or Netflix .. my goodness

Pay to play baby!!!

fake headline

Who cares. Like I want to push what I’m saying. Twit is really like a note pad where I notation my thoughts on topics. My ego isn’t big enough to pay $0.01 let alone $89

Lol still not paying…

Always wanted a reason to quit social media thanks elonmusk.

Free speech More like “paid speech”

Elon is hell bent, to stepping on every fiscal claymore known to flash in the pan, self absorbed, I, I, I, me, me, me types…. Fitting the bill for all his fortune and fame to road to ruin predecessors….

there is one person what I not FOLLOW YOU KNOW WHO

Nonsense😤😤 Finding ways to get more money!!!

Free speech as long as you pay for it.....na no thanks

OMG what am I going to do

😅😂😂😂 pathetic men with pathetic ideas

Back to MyFreeCams then.

Bugger elonmusk, killing twitter one change at a time. Trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. I really don't think you understand social media at all.

Elon Musk doesn’t need $84 a year from me to use Twitter. I’ll be bailing out if that happens.

Ok cool. Goodbye Twitter.

Twitter is not that crucial. Believe me, other cites will come along…

What does he really think Twitter is? Lol

Who cares? Remember when made an app and tried to get people to pay for it and failed 😂

Oh no. Really not that big of a deal. Not paying. Don’t care. Free up space on my phone.

Polls are a joke on Twitter. Elon voted himself out as CEO but stayed on anyway despite announcing he would abide by the poll. elonmusk

Looks like Twitter ala Musk is pay as you go. Greed before community. Wish there was another platform that wasn’t run for greed and an egomaniac opinions pushed upon users.

No way on earth I'm paying him. 😂

Lol he lost a poll about him stepping down as CEO so he's charging people to vote 😂😂😂

Because he lost a poll…

😂

Good job elon musk

It's a Democratic process, you have to pay to play!

Arsenal fans will sign up....they LOVE a poll.

How to kill a platform in one easy step

Yep show me the money

'''This is the worlds townsquare, it values the people that pay for the town. If you don't pay for the townsquare you have no say in the world.''' This is almost like the Boring Company. 'We're getting rid of the problem, with another problem.'

sadly, he presumes I give a schitt

Corporate control?

so they want to create value by destroying value? aint gonna work

Polls? Seriously? A Twitter poll? 🤣🤣🤣🤣... I also don't care who sees my posts... I wouldn't give that guy a nickel of my money..

Isnt he that south african money-grabber?

Aw Shucks, Musk. Can‘t vote in your inane polls- guess you didn‘t like the one in which everyone could, and we voted overwhelmingly for you to quit Twitter.

Elon the money destroyer.

Twitter become a nation now, your who use it not become a member yet, should be as like a refugees, you can be anything you want but you don't have right to control a nation.

That's fine I can easily live without Twitter thanks run by the biggest twit if all

How to crash Twitter in 3…2…1 😁😁 Well done. Let’s go back to real conversations in real life. It’s time 🫶

'The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves'.

This is ludicrous. I’ve had it with him.

elonmusk these comments are pretty funny

Fixing to twitter out

He's looking and sounding more and more like a Simpsons character.

You could have said $7.99 a month. Which is more accurate. We know why you didn't.

Yes! I've been looking for a reason to disconnect

This, too, will backfire...

His platform his rule. You don’t like it. Go elsewhere

i wont give him a penny

Will fail.

It’s fair as Twitter, not a charity, needs money to survive.

Great idea, that’s why he’s the most successful person in history 👍

Pay? I don’t even update my Twitter app in Apple store 😂

I don’t want blue tick comments on my timeline if I don’t follow them, I ain’t paying $84 a year to tell strangers anything I’m not a politician

Mr. Kick me in the A Elmo can stuff it.

Im fine with the promotion part, but voting too? Seriously? No one is gonna pay for that stuff.

Fake cake in this pub

We don't care about him or Twitter. This is a time waster. And we won't pay a dime for it. Expect people to stop using social in the coming years. We're waking up to how much life were not living while here.

Just his fanboys

And CNN will not be allowed to subscribe...

He really is intent on totally finishing the platform & his investment isn't he

I need Samuel L Jackson to narrate this tweet…. I’m not paying for one muthaf***** tweet on this muthaf****** app

Twitter is not a legal right, free speech is. Twitter is a fee speech platform, not free speech. I may not be able to afford voting in the polls, but I do acknowledge that it's his platform, his rules. If that is such a problem, then why don't you make your own free platform?

I’m already paying $150 for Starlink? The Trumpism in him is surfacing.

That's not a good plan elonmusk . Most subscribers are business people, and they need the pole to understand their audience.

Wow! -'Forgot to mention that accounts you follow directly will also be in For You, since you have explicitly asked for them.” - “That said, it’s ok to have verified bot accounts if they follow terms of service & don’t impersonate a human.” *Didn't agree w/ own poll against him

If am a paid subscriber I better get more likes & retweets 🤣🤣🤣💁❤️

Free speech my ass.

What will happen to all those trolls who use this extensively ?

Idgaf

Sellout!

I will never pay for any of that 💩💩💩

Attacking and throttling the content engine that is the essential core of Twitter’s value. But why? 🤷‍♂️

The beginning of the end for Twitter. elonmusk don't you have enough money? How much is enough?

Fakes being mad about chatgpt being monetized..

Who cares, he owns Twitter. Can’t he do whatever he wants with it?

I applaud musk for Turing twitter from its faux free speech implying operational method , giving it a heightened sense of importance , faux in itself. now Twitter will be what it should be treated as , a private membership club.

Who could have guessed it, Twitter is the first platform to openly supress the vote?!

It's indeed true that freedom of speech and truth has to be bought.

cringe

That's dumb

So......paid blue check'ers are playing $84 a year to vote in Polls.🤡

The only time I would even consider paying money for this would be for an ad free experience where my data was not being collected and I don’t think that will ever happen 😂

😂😂😂 fine with me cricket

It’s not a good idea to make a better social network

He is such a douchbag.

Right, because he's all about FREE speech!

Ick.

fuckelon

remember CNN+ ;)))

Twitter is a scam. Just like Elon.

Bye Twitter!

Well now it’s says $122 and some change a year

Nope. Good bye!

2024 Americans and the world will decide if they are willing to pay or not for Twitter.

All social media should be like any other utility or service. You gotta pay.

What happened to free speech.

Richie Rich doesn’t get it

ROI

The only way to stop bots is give me money lol wtf

Vote on what lame poll? Who gives a shit?

Ya we get it, you hate twitter now

Nickel and dime the common folks…

Loose lips and sinking ships, Twitter does not make...

Zero gives a shit

Good luck with that 🤣

I'm not paying to take a poll that's only socially acknowledged (and sometimes not even then.) I don't care about my tweets being promoted, and while I'll miss seeing a wide variety of tweets from those I am not following, I refuse to pay for that it-shay.

So that means elonmusk will redo the poll that allowed realDonaldTrump to return, right? Since it must’ve been “swarmed with AI bots”?

NEED THE MONEY, DO YOU?

lol

That's banana republics democracy.

Is there a way to hold more advertising companies? That is the best. If young Americans prefer to stay with Facebook and instagram, let’s find the way to hold them. Who is loyal customers here in twitter?🧐

Not sure why y’all are still parroting the $8/month lie. Never saw it that price on my phone Maybe that’s the super gullible early bird special rate. 🤷‍♂️

Can't vote in a twitter pole? That's a bad thing?

I guess he’s ready to Twitter to crumble.

Is there a better motivation than this for someone else to start a truly free social network to rival twitter, )and for us to migrate to en masse) than this?

Oh noes! Gasp! Whatever shall I do?

What's the problem?

Each Satanist more than anything else loves money. Mr. Musk is not exclusion.

I’m out😎

Well, I guess I’m gonna fucking delete Twitter Twitter because they’re not worth it

Look I’m not mad at him…y’all want capitalism but don’t want capitalism lol. Make it make sense lol

😂😂😂😂😂😂 yoo twitters not even that good no social media is worth a paid sub

I can leave in a heartbeat and my life won’t skip a beat.

Talk about killing a site 😂

Social media should be free and not restrictive. Everything is turning into a sorority or fee based idiom to share information. I guess one doesn’t have a enough $$. Advertisers are paying and if owners are creative more will pay!

Not gonna pay for twitter

People make content for free and need to pay 84$ per year to somebody who do the same can see it?

i thought that was April fool's joke

Showing your true colors elonmusk

No problem.

Musk doesn't understand what twitter is. Most people are lurkers and follow their favorite celebs (sports, Hollywood, politician, tech, ...) They really don't care if their own tweets and replies are boosted or show up in other people's feeds.

The polls will reflect elitist attitude. Nothing new in that. All our mass media reflect folks with extra discretionary income. It’s why they are not taxed based on personal consumer liquidity. Teachers, soldiers, utility workers, all educated, won’t be represented elonmusk

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Another step in destroying Twitter

I think we should be talking about how CNN is a misleading news source.

Jajajaja what a dumbass!

So much for his mantra 'Freedom of Speech' his platform is all pay to play.

Pay to vote. Someone doesn't like democracy too much.

He is creating a pay-to-play reality-skew engine. Dark energy kind. It's why he re-platformed the Nazis and supremacists. They'll happily pay to make their minority voices seem like a majority. Which they will, once the polls no longer reflect any kind of realistic balance/truth.

Twitter removed (in time it took to fix a typo) my access to post a survey on Twitter. I asked if Twitter should offer Free Plan, so all Tweets promoted; Like Hulu Free Plan w/ Ads or Hulu Premium Plan no Ads- & after I defended ElonMusk-Paid Influence around since Rome.

Lol I would NEVER spend money on a blue check mark 🤣🤣🤣 This platform is becoming a joke.

I care less and less about Twitter anyway. It’s all just Trump this, caturd that. Lies and hate is all Twitter seems to be good for anymore.

Proverbs 16:2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits. Proverbs 16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

No thanks, you can keep it.

Tiny dick energy

😂😂😂

It's about time....a good start at cleaning out the cesspool.

oh man all the legacies are bitter about something they apparently don’t think matters

'Genius' elite grifter decides on new fees to make up for his 'business genius' ridiculous over purchase price. (humans RARELY fail to disappoint me.)

I unfollowed CNN when they went Fox News, Elon is the only I'm seeing this tweet.

Grifter

The second Twitter starts charging is the exact moment I cancel my account💪🏾💯

I think most people will pay for free speech.

Best idea! Finally this app is going somewhere.

He's ruining the entire platform. These moves are stupid.

🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

CNN suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks

We're going to abandon Twitter,akasazi lo usizwa ngendaba njengoJesu.I refuse to pay him anything for being here 🚮.

Who cares about his frigg’n polls? Really!

I am not going pay so he can be controller like trump.he’s let the extremist back on here

Falling

I really don't care.

Keep it.

🤮

Can we buy Twitter back from him, please?

Literally nobody cares.

Answer: What is the last thing I will never spend $84 on?

smart move

Welp so long twitter fam

Haha yea na. I’m not paying. That’s stupid.

Musk has apparently not seen how many of us took our down our fb and Instagram and are moving more towards tiktok because of rich men like himself

Oh no! No polls! Bwahahahahhahaha

Good. Ready to quit this sh*those social media platform anyway. Musk has ruined it.

perfect never wanted a promo and I don’t vote

I block all promoted tweets and ads

So much for free speech.

Why would we give a care not to be able to vote in Elon’s BS polls!

then everyone cried, while paying 84$

Such a FREEDOM! Twitter HouseOfFarRight

Because he’s trying to make a little money because he lost $20B. Curse the day he bought the bird.

Just in case there are too many people on twitter.

Would you pay $8 to vote in polls?

Big reality check for all the celebrities who never made an interesting tweet and only coast on name recognition.

Nope! Leave twitter the way it is. It’s news! People reply on it. If you want money, have the rich bitches pay for it! They can afford anything, make them pay and leave the rest of us alone. Too many privileged rich people! It’s annoying! You guys don’t help at all!

Poll tax?!

The people replying with tropes like 'freedom of speech for $8, how's that free', you cannot see where the world is headed. We NEED friction in communication. I will offer you my considered position on this: Within 6 months you will be able to spin up an infinity of bots and…

ROFL bye

So he is destroying Twitter some one is probably doing something better

CNN is scared of Twitter popularity

Not enough money yet huh?

Yall can have it. There is not than one way to skin a cat.

Soon non-subscribers can’t retweet or comment… well whatever, won’t pay

'Truly democratic experience' Fuck me… own you have to take basic functionality away from people to actually sell the product, it becomes really clear that the product you sell ain’t worth a crap.

Rt 2020 Must we pay to Musk for the Moonlight if Musk'll privatize the Moon? Universe is endless but oligarchs' ownership should be limited. Where & when should be Red Lines for Global Privatizers? Stop PrivatizeParadise Let's discuss CodeOfExodus

I want to claim first to erase Twitter.

Well, I don't know about other people. But the existence of twitter is now violated with this step. Time to switch media.

So much for freedom of expression, cant even vote on silly online polls.

Perfect excuse to stop using it

Gonna need a better carrot. 😝

Sorry, but people don't want to pay for what is free now.

Good deal… Great move by Elon Musk!

What a tool.

Cnn is just jealous

muskistrash bad idea 👎

ChauMusk CiaoTwitter ByeTwitter

Who cares lol there will be another twitter soon

major news here, folks. lol

We do not vote in polls.. BE FOR REAL

It's like he really thinks we're all here seriously, not just to laugh and watch it sink

He just wants more money.

twiiter

Cool, every last person who he pushes into my timeline will be blocked

I'm ok with this. Pay and vote.

Elon, you just decided to destroy your $44 billion dollar 👶. Good luck, for the normal human trying to survive, this is murder! Of social networking. Now, if you did this for people making money from it, that's understandable. For me, kiss my ASS. U done limited my reach. Greed

Be like I go leave this app for you

Great way to destroy the ad revenue!

So a poll tax lol.

So free speech has a fee to be paid? I'm still not interested in paying anything for this mess muskie created out of a working model.

China has already been let into America. We will be seeing Chinese police everywhere in the next 7 years. Just watch.

ItWasACoup Oh noes, not being able to vote in straw polls the horror 🙀

I repeat: Twitter is not essential to life.

Starting April 15 I will delete my Twitter app.

That's fare!

Lol all the crying. Ppl want a free platform that doesn't use their info to spam with ads lol. I'd Hapily pay if my old account wouldn't still be banned. But bc it's banned I know the freedom of speech thing is BS. Elon and CZ from Binance are CCP Shills.

I think that's the right thing to do. I totally agree.

Twitter will be no more in 2 years

CNN that sounded criticism has already subscribed the gold mark😃

Sounds good polls are pointless and designed to get a response. Don't care about getting premoted. No $8 from me.

Remember his words at the begin?🤔

Omg, I can’t vote in Twitter polls? I don’t know what to do now

For this Price i will spend my Time on CanalplusF1 instead 🤓

He’ll get $0 and like it…

That is what I do i read...

So you are only visible if you pay, you can only vote if you pay, etc 🤦‍♂️

That's horse shite Elon, shame on you bud, I used to have a lot more respect 4 you!

😂😂😂

I’ll be leaving on the 15th.

elonmusk can eat it

mrbigg450

Garca 💩💨

This is good news.

He’s such a fucking moron. It’s a wonder how anyone still thinks he’s a genius or even just smart. He’s just another dipshit who was born on 3rd base and thinks he hit a homerun.

“Freedom of speech” behind a paywall. What a fraud and people bought into his bs.

He just wants his money back.. he can’t sell it for what he paid for.. he is screwed… way to go genius .. I don’t care for the app.. won’t pay even 5 cents for it neither

Greedy B

So, Tweeter is going to disappear

This is why Ive already joined Spoutible

It shows what he thinks is valuable about the site. An opinion which is not widely held.

malasqalani Well those are some perks I can’t live without. 🙄

Oh. This is how he gets back the $20 billion that he said he overpaid? Lol….

🥱

Polls?! Why would anyone pay to participate in a poll that has zero impact on reality of life? But I get why. He is still mad about that poll where people said they didn’t want him as CEO, I see.

Who cares?

He shouldn't be the one owns it.

$84? Mine shows $114/yr or $11/mo

Daddy please 🙏 🥰

$120 a year for Apple users :/

I'm an NPC so I'll never pay. I pay the same to get the WSJ every year. Seriously? How about 36/year.

Zero issue with… the only people having meltdowns are those who used to gain influence from Twitter. The rest of us who come here for news and public discussion are fine with it. It’s $7 if you’d like or free. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I guess, Elon Musk hasn't yet recovered from the result of a Twitter poll, run by himself not too long ago, which saw 57.5% of users vote 'YES' to him stepping down as CEO, as soon as he finds someone 'foolish enough to take the job.' His 'free speech' issue is all about himself.

Users will no longer have multiple accounts. That would stop the spread of false rumors... but I think it's better to charge the bot higher than that.

Thank god for Elon… without him we would have no chance at seeing any truth online

He can GFH.

Gets rid of trolls.

elonmusk karaswisher nytimes Most people once off Twitter will see a dramatic improvement in their mental health. Take the $84 and donate it to a charity dedicated to social & mental health. Then ignore Elon Musk, a troller and divider.

Thought he was gonna step down after that poll HE did

I am blocking this person. One more nonsense I am deleting my account.

Not worth it. Musk has tanked this platform, people having been turned off from using it. Twitter was always nasty, but under Musk, it's 80% worse. Bad enough going on an abusive platform for free, quit another to think you have to pay for it.

Ok

Yikes, much failure I see in the future for Twitter

Who really cares

FREE SPEECH IS BACK BABYYYYYY

This is a quick way to crash a business. Who is going to pay for that? Isn't advertisement enough?

LOL! Vote in the polls - Survey Monkey is free Elon

I guess free speech is getting more expensive.

By Twitter

Our savior of democracy just put a gate around the digital town square. Good job. What a great dude who knows how to run companies.

A sinking ship

Thank you for de-democratizing Twitter

People complaining need to enter this is a free world. Twitter is a privilege and not a right haha. It’s not ran by the government either. Either pay and use it or shut up and don’t. Ppl want to fight for their capitalism right but fight it when it hit them adversely. Smh

Imagine thinking people care this much about twitter. If it went away tomorrow, 90% of people would go about their lives. People are worried about paying for their morgage and groceries, not twitter. 🤣

Free* speech. *$84

More opportunities for the rich! The poor must remain silent.

EvelDick

StSmallerie It's only a matter of time before The Greatest Business Mind The World Has Ever Known In This Or Any Other Time decrees that only paying subscribers are allowed to tweet. That is when the bells will toll for this once-great platform.

If Elon wanted Twitter to make money, he would sell the company immediately. That would do more than anything else to bring advertising back to the platform which has been irrevocably harmed by his name being associated with it.

Desperate times at Twitter. That’s what happens when you pay ~double what something is worth. You end up doing really dumb things to cost recover.

Too bad I don't VOTE IN POLLS🤦‍♂️🤦😂🤣

In this case: bye bye Twitter.

The more Elmo talks, the more I appreciate my Discord feeds. 🙄

If he didn't scare off advertisers he would not resort to this crap

Oh my what a human tragedy. What will o do if I can’t vote on Twitter?

Unimportant

Uh oh everyone is getting mad at me for saying I don't mind paying lol

Twitter for the rich, just like every other thing in this damn country.

Too expensive.

stil not going to pay

When you put money ahead of everything else!

Good 👍

Land-owner only rights.

And…?

What polls do I ever vote for on twitter?

Can a bot still be verified? If this process rids Twitter of bots, then it is well worth $84 a year. If not then Twitter is merely charging customers for the service of promoting Tweets with family, friends, others & bots.

I'll be leaving soon. Fuck social media.

Free speech at a cost of whopping 7 dollars a month.

Right! Let people speak rubbish, u just stick to ur decision.

Soon unpaid Twitter users will be regulated to a few hours of usage per day. Just wait.

Misleading headline. Everyone will be shown in the twitter feed of who you’re following. It’s just the “for you” feed which they won’t show up.

I just don’t care that much about Twitter. I don’t get my news from that source. I don’t form political opinions based on Twitter. I follow entertainment info. I won’t pay for it. I’ll just wait for the next best thing. He’s just greed.

That’s why TikTok is better; it gives space for the have-nots to have a voice. America is paid to play only.

People spend more time on Twitter than on Netflix or on Spotify. Both these platforms charge more than $84 a year. It will still be possible to use Twitter for free. I really don't see the problem!

All the crying babies on here....lol

elonmusk cnn Instead of taking money directly, cnn will first make majority ill than in the name of treatment will get a chunk of patients money

While paid promotion of tweets may increase revenue for Twitter, it is important to consider accessibility and equity for those in underdeveloped countries who cannot afford the subscription fee.

According to musk, only those monied people will inherit the earth.

Lol what

Who cares

Business is business. People like the platform, and he must find ways to keep it afloat.

Yeah, if this is true I’m done. Perfect time for some competition to crop up.

That will be a “NO”!

84 DE MI DE DOLARI PE LUNA ?

Twitter becoming irrelevant…

How to drive your patrons to other applications.....

Narcissist 💩💩💩💩💩💩

…and the band played on.

You really think a scammer is above paying $8/mo to scam?

elonmusk how is this freedom of speech?

Makes sense. It will eliminate the bots.

Musk seems to be intentionally tanking Twitter

So in other words he made a bad investment and expects the people to bail him out. Sounds about right 🤷🏽‍♀️

So free speech isn't free, huh?

Lmao billionaires owns Fox News and now this dude ruining twitter 😂 Fucking jokes

Byeeee!

Hahahahahaha!! Anyone paying for this doomscroll is mad. I'm only here because I'm a prick.

This will be the best $84. I’ve spent!! The cost of free speech is priceless!! Got it CNN?

वेद बताते हैं पूर्ण परमात्मा की सतभक्ति से रोगियों के रोग नाश होते हैं और संत रामपाल जी महाराज के शिष्यों को ये लाभ मिल भी रहे हैं।

His company, his rules.

Not like the polls really matter, after all it has been months, and he had yet to step down.

Jaaaa

I thought the accepted model was to improve services, then raise prices. I use Twitter for free and I often find it too expensive.

End of twitter for sure.

So he took a free app and is making it “pay to play” because his little pr stunt is a financial failure. This is so fun to watch in real time.

Soon elections will be moved to social media. Watch. Only certain people will be allowed to vote.

He's got to make the platform profitable somehow. Your liberal advertisers pulled out once it was evident that conservative voices would no longer be suppressed.

He is destroying Twitter.

Iv been on twitter for a couple of years never done a poll, so I’m happy with what Iv got

Sounds like Truth Social, how’s that working out, like a Casino owner going bankrupt 🤔

Some much for the land of the free. Freedom of speech now costs $84. Unbelievable. This guy is a joke.

LOL

Sounds like he wants to create a Truth Social 2.0.

We are losing the building of an economy from the bottom up. This might be where individuals start developing their brands. It is a starting place and Elon is undermining the building of an economy from the 'have-nots' to become part of the 'haves'

Pay to vote could be applied in other ways as well

好眼熟的操作啊,哦原来我们早就这么干了

Read my lips Musky, you will never get one red cent from me..... Never!

...freedom of speech for $8 /month....👇

Who care about votes fir polls it wound mean nothing you have to pay for votes just toget a poll don’t waste Bt time Twitter stayed to be radical far right extremism for rich people only try to brainwash the weak I vote on Cnn for free

Sorry, not me. Don't need it.

Bro is trying so hard to boost Twitter's tanking valuation so he can sell it off for pennies on the dollar. Bahahahahahahahaha

That's going to be 'fair' polling results considering no Democrat in his/her right mind want to be part of that garbage other then professional media people

You can still use Twitter, u just won't get noticed or be able to vote in polls if ur not subscribed. Seems pretty fair.

Well, he doesn't have big pharma paying all his bills.

Without the non paying users, the paying users have nobody to which to Tweet. (Including polls). Musk is screwing himself.

So much for the king of free speech

It’s ok. He’s ruined it. I won’t miss it

Just delete every promoted tweet

Awwww, many of the critics literally pay $8 every morning for their coffee. Those whining about this can go f$ck theselves 😆😆☕️

Once the porn is gone, so am I. Otherwise I don’t give a shit

No thanks

Ok it’s his company he can do whatever he wants, he wouldn’t have even purchased Twitter if Twitter didn’t actively silence free speech and work with certain political groups to push agendas.

elonmusk having acquired the property of Tesla without the Consent of the Person Who was Tesla. I want My Stuff back so We Can begin to Build the Better Things of Tomorrow, Today. He's in the Way, So is the Government.

I will not pay for Twitter in a shoe. I will not pay for a checkmark thats blue. I will not pay for it, Emerald Mine Billionaire I will not pay for it anywhere.

Good by .

Ew

This is so stupid

Wouldn’t drive a Tesla if it was free at this point. Dude is cancer.

elonmusk knew the only entities more powerful than oligarchs lyk him is global media ,the CNNs, fox, BBC & Warner bros etc. He looks at Twitter and sees CNN & Aljazeera but with a perk & that perk is millions of ppl subscribed on the app , he envisions it as decentralized media

Wrong - only paid subscribers will be added to 'For You' - people you follow, whether paid or not, will show up regardless

Hey I really want to follow you.. but I don’t really want to be here anymore.. any chance you can slide over to TribelOfficial ?

Lmao

If wants Twitter to end all he has to do is shut it down. He doesn’t have to draw it out like this lol

Gotta love dictators!

NoPayment4Twitter Elon Musk is a billionaire. U want 2 be heard, then people will listen but charge? You lost so many thousands.

Laughing. .....' freedom of speech ' is getting saved for $84 a year after a spoiled little rich kid seeking revenge lost $24 Billion in equity thinking like a Trump Tard. $84 is $84 too much to have the disgusting honor to vote on polls that are dominated by blind cult followers

His debts are piling up.

I guess he really wants to lose people and make it a republican site only like truth social

What a 🤡.

Great

This is bc of leftist bots destroying the platform.

Going down faster than titanic. Lol. These supposed to be the smart people because they have money.

Thank goodness an adult took over Twitter.

serious question: what did people think would happen? he is a billionaire. this is what he does. I’m not surprised in the slightest

Why would I pay for an app that’s always been free? People will leave, but the bots will stay.

People will pay $84/year just so they can vote in ridiculous polls? LOL

All social media will do that.

He only wants his simps to vote on polls

No polls? My life is worthless now

Cool
