However, Elon Musk says that this policy applies to those who wish to read the occasional story from certain publishers, meaning individual articles may not require a monthly subscription fee.

However, at this point the details of this upcoming paid feature are still unclear. Musk only revealed that it will launch next month, it is not clear what types of accounts and media can offer paid articles on Twitter

Rolling out next month, this platform will allow media publishers to charge users on a per article basis with one click.

This enables users who would not sign up for a monthly subscription to pay a higher per article price for when they want to read an occasional article.…

In addition, Musk also did not say how much commission Twitter would take from this new feature. Previously, the company officially replaced Super Follows with subscriptions and Twitter will not take a commission from creators for the next 12 months. After a year, Twitter will take a 10 percent cut.

According to a report from Engadget, there is currently no clarification from the company, so it will be a while to find out if Twitter will apply the same commission rules to this new feature.

Although, eventually the company will take the cut, for example Twitter with the leadership of Musk has introduced more paid features to increase the company’s revenue.

Currently, the verification badge comes as a bonus to users who subscribe to Twitter Blue for $8 per month. Twitter is also shutting down the free API to roll out a new API that users have to pay for.

Enterprise customers will cost nearly $50,000 per month to access the new API, so some organizations and companies have chosen to end Twitter’s integration into their apps or websites, such as the New York City transportation authority. [FY/HBS]
