The days of being completely free for everyone may be over.
The company might introduce a fee for commercial and government users.

Musk was referring to a cryptic message about Freemasons.
The downfall of the Freemasons was giving away their stonecutting services for nothing.
In April, Musk suggested making some changes to the service, but later deleted the post.
The idea that the service should be free for everyone and money should be made through advertising is something that has been maintained by Facebook.
We don't think that the business model of the company should be based on anything related to the Freemasons. Musk said that his acquisition of Twitter is not about making money. He told the banks that are helping him finance the deal that he will slash executive and board salaries, as well as come up with new ways to monetize the service, in order to make the service more profitable.
