Elon Musk says Twitter will soon allow users to monetize content, make long-form posts

Twitter will soon allow its users to monetize their own content on the platform in addition to making long-form posts beyond the traditional character limit, CEO Elon Musk announced Saturday.

Musk, who took over Twitter in late October, has announced plans for sweeping changes to the company, already firing several top executives. Musk didn't detail how creators would be able to monetize their content, however.

"Twitter will soon add ability to attach long-form text to tweets, ending absurdity of notepad screenshots," Musk wrote Saturday.

"Followed by creator monetization for all forms of content," he added.

The news came roughly a day after Twitter revealed plans for a new verification system, allowing users to pay between $4 and $8 to secure the coveted blue checkmark. Verification badges traditionally signified a public figure's authentic account, but Musk argues it resulted in a "lord and peasant" system on the platform.

Musk has laid off thousands of Twitter employees in the days since he took over the company. And some Democrats on Capitol Hill have begun to target the billionaire.

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., set his sights on Musk last week, sending a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen highlighting that members of the Saudi royal family are prominent investors in Twitter. Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal had purchased his stake in Twitter long before Musk bought the company, however.

"I write to draw your attention to potential national security concerns arising from the recently completed takeover of Twitter, Inc. by Elon Musk and a number of private investors," Murphy wrote to Yellen, according to a copy of the letter obtained by Punchbowl News. "​​Setting aside the vast stores of data that Twitter has collected on American citizens, any potential that Twitter’s foreign ownership will result in increased censorship, misinformation, or political violence is a grave national security concern."

"Saudi Arabia is one of the most repressive countries in the world, with little to no tolerance for free expression. Importantly, the Saudi government has demonstrated a willingness to enforce their restrictive approach to dissent outside the Kingdom’s borders—illustrated most tragically by the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi," the letter continued.

Critics were outraged when Musk announced the firings of several top executives at the company, including CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal, and head of legal policy, trust, and safety Vijaya Gadde.

Gadde led the company's push to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story first published in the New York Post prior to the 2020 election.

Musk's stated goal in purchasing Twitter was to protect the freedom of speech, saying in a statement last week that a public square open to diverse opinions is necessary for democracy to thrive.

Holy shit this is true, no wonder they’re pissed off that Elon upset the apple cart:

Y'know, in years past, Biden's odd behavior would end up in the papers, in the papers.

The left must control the message 100%. Anything short of complete control of the message, and oh, the world is ending and the Nazis are running in the streets and Republicans are eating your children.

They are a ridiculous group. They're perpetually stuck at the mental age of 12.

Exactly. That's being nice though, since there are LOTS of 12 year olds with orders of magnitude more mature and intelligent than the democrats right now. I cannot recall the level of stupidity we've been observing for some time now, not even close. Each month I think how things could not possibly get more stupid than they are already, and each month I'm flabbergasted by the STILL ever increasing level of stupdity, deceipt, and moral turpitude from the democrats.

A stuttering magpie could write those speeches.

If a million monkeys could write a Shakesperean play in a billion years just via the laws of probabilistic evolution theory, Kamala could hire a hundred or so to write a new speech for her every week. Kamala is a lost because she's had enough life experience to learn the basics of life and work, but chose to ride on the majik carpet of deciept and political bullshit instead, so she has nothing else to base her thinking or actions on besides stupidity. Like many democrats, if a little stupidity worked before, more of it should work even better, right ? It appears they will have arrived, two days from now, if not already.

Elon's new policy is because of this, Griffin impersonating Musk:

I heard that Valarie Bertinelli did the same thing.

The "bot people" must see the writing on the wall and are going all out. I've gotten 15-20 more followers that are clearly bots, in the last week alone.

I'm glad that, instead of cancelling my Twitter account a second time, when it looked like the Musk buy might fall through, I simply walked away from it until the smoke cleared, cuz this is great

It wasn’t just Griffin, there was at least one other. I saw one of those before/after screenshots of another where “Elon” was saying he enjoyed a nice, big steaming mug of his own urine for breakfast every morning, extolling the health benefits. The person who posted the screenshot claimed Elon “had no sense of humor.” I imagine there were a number of them.
