The boss of the social network said that users of this service will pay “a higher price”, “when they want to read an article on an occasional basis”, but did not give further details on how it works.

Buy press articles from different publications individually. The social network Twitter will soon offer its users this possibility, announced on Saturday April 29, Elon Musk. He gave no other details on the prices or the precise functioning of this device. This proposal is not new, but never achieved the expected success, because its economic model remains to be proven.
“Starting next month, [Twitter] will allow media publishers to charge readers, article by article, with the click of a button”wrote the boss of the social network, who continues to launch new projects, sometimes in confusion, since he bought the American company. “This will allow users who do not take a monthly subscription to pay a higher price per article when they want to read an article occasionally”added Elon Musk, who considers that “it will be a win-win for the media and readers”.
Elon Musk’s bet, like previous similar attempts before it, requires the participation of press publishers, who would have to agree to plug their content into the platform, which does not seem like an easy task given the chaotic history of this model and the now tarnished reputation of Twitter.
