Elon Musk has only been the owner of Twitter for a few weeks, but has already begun to announce some of the future news that will come to the social network under your direction. These, in addition, go beyond offering the possibility of freely sharing opinions; something that the tycoon has been promising when he had not even raised enough money to complete the purchase. But what are the upcoming changes to the popular platform?
Many of these, precisely, are focused on functions that will benefit, above all, those users who pay a monthly subscription. That is, to those who are part of Twitter Blue, an additional service of the platform that can be obtained by paying 8 dollars a month. Probably the most important novelty is the be able to get twitter verification (the famous check blue) via this pathway. This will make it possible for any user who pays those $8 per month to have some notoriety on the platform or, at least, distinguish themselves from those who use Twitter for free.
Interestingly, Musk is also considering make twitter completely paid. Or, at least, allow users to browse the social network for free for a limited time, and then pay if they want to continue on Twitter. In any case, a completely paid Twitter is not something that we are going to see in the short term. Paying celebrities to send them messages would be another plan to monetize Twitter
Longer texts in tweets, the return of suspended accounts, and more
Elon Musk claimed that it would soon be possible post longer text tweets. A feature that would put an end to screenshots of the notes app when someone wants to express an opinion of it in more than 280 characters. The tycoon has also highlighted that it will offer options for creators to monetize all their content. He also assures that he will give more details about it in the coming weeks.
On the other hand, Elon Musk will allow users to create parody accounts of celebrities or public figures and tweet content in a mocking or mocking tone. As long as, yes, the accounts that do so explicitly detail in their profile that it is a parody. Those who simply try to impersonate other people will be permanently suspended from Twitter, said the manager.
In relation to the suspension of accounts, Musk plans to bring back some profiles Twitter permanently removed in the past. Among them, that of Donald Trump. The also CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, yes, assured not carry out the reactivation of this type of accounts until they have “a clear process to do so”.
Elon Musk wants to improve search on Twitter
Musk also wants improve content search within Twitter and make it, apparently, more precise. “Search within Twitter reminds me of Infoseek from ’98! That too will get much better soon,” she said in a tweet. As a complement to this future change, Twitter now shows relevant information about trends or important news, even to those users who are not registered in the social network.
Of course, another change will be the possibility for any user to express their opinion freely, without Twitter censoring your posts or deleting your account. Elon Musk himself has defined this function warning that, despite the fact that it is a problem for his security, he will not delete the account that follows his private plane, since the user who manages it is free to do so.
