Musk seems to have a lot of ideas to get people to stop using the social networking site. My dude is working on turning the social media platform into a airline.
Musk is likely to try to crack open users' wallet at every turn. Let's say some of his ideas are far-fetched. A very online billionaire is floating ideas. The will-he-won't-he-what's- next saga is indicative of that.
I wrote last week that Musk was running into the realities of owning a social platform when he was courting advertisers. It's like a guy who loves partying that buys a bar and then learns he has to clean all day, deal with drunks, and make very little money.
It seems that Musk has realized that he has to work harder to make money. He doesn't have to worry about himself anymore since it's not an EpiC JoKe. His reality is what it is. Musk is rising up the y- axis on the chart.
He's floating monetization scheme after floating monetization scheme, which we decided to rank on a useless scale of likely/less likely/pipe dream. I have no idea what I'm doing, and Musk is the kind of person who will do anything. Make of this what you please.
I cheated by starting with this one. It's not a monetization scheme but it's how most of its revenue is made. It's the monetization scheme that is true. He needs to keep advertisers happy to keep the platform alive.

The richest man in the world wanted to charge people a monthly fee of $20 and a yearly fee of $240 for verification through the social media platform. He was told to pound sand by the internet. It's not going to happen for that price.
That's more than any other subscription service. It won't happen because you would have to be crazy to pay that much.
The price of Musk's verification service was lowered to $8 a month. I don't think it's enough for a blue check, but Musk seems committed to the idea. Verification, priority in replies, and other features will be included in the $8 Blue subscription.

He still posts about it, and hasn't backed off. He thinks it's going to help make money and make people think it's not a good place to be. I don't know if it will do either of those things, but I don't think Musk won't do it.
It is possible that a blue check will cost $8 a month in the future. I think a lot of people will hand over the verification. It's a dumb thing to pay for, and you would have to be a total dweeb to pay for it. Verification does not make you cool or alord. Paying for it would be like asking to be pushed into a locker in high school.
He may do it.
It is a difficult one. It isn't happening but it is possible.
The Washington Post reported that Musk is pushing for a feature called "Paywalled Video" to be rolled out. It is a feature that is likely to be used for adult content.
Users could post paywalled video and payment would be processed by Stripe.
If it's deemed too risky, it won't happen, but it is in the works.
Musk wants to bring back the beloved short-form video app, which was previously owned and run by the social networking site. He asked Mr.Beast for advice. It's not a monetization scheme, but it would obviously be aimed at making money. Musk doesn't like charging for things that are free.
Christianna Silva did a great job explaining why it's not a good idea to bring vine back The people who created it have aged and moved on. There's also TikTok. It was beloved in the first place due to its lack of a community.
Musk would have to contend with obstacles in order to bring the show back to life. The former employee said that Musk had engineers dig into the code.
The code is older than 6 years. Sara Beykpour said that some of it is more than 10 years old. You don't want to see that. You should start over if you want to revive vine.

It sounds like a throbbing head. There will be a headaches that will not happen.
"To all complainers, please keep complaining, but it will cost $8," Musk said.
This is not a real thing.

We needed a late night toilet account. It shows how Musk operates. He's posting shit on his way through the social networking site.
