In a cauldron of speculation about Twitter’s acquisition that has yet to be finalized, new owner Elon Musk continues to do what he loves to do most: tweet whatever comes to mind and wait for people’s reactions. Your final suggestion: Charge big companies and governments to post on your social network.
In a tweet published on Tuesday afternoon (3), Musk says, “The downfall of the Freemasons is to provide the services of stone carvers for free,” referring to the services provided by the microblogging. He later assuredTwitter will always be free for casual usersbut perhaps at a small cost for commercial/government users”.
After all, the downfall of the Masons rendered their stone-cutting services in vain.

How Twitter can blame companies and governments
By ReutersElon Musk has proposed the idea that he could start charging media companies for quoting or embed tweets, while creating a pool of banks to fund the Twitter acquisition. The reasoning was based on a logic: if microblogging is a desirable product, why not get paid for it?
However, Mike Manick, editor of the respected blog, Technical Dirttweeting or retweeting, i.e. expressing an opinion, would be contrary to the First Amendment to the US Constitution, which preaches freedom of speech touted as such by the billionaire when he bought the social network.
In addition, there are other practical questions such as how much to charge. Is it possible that The Coca-Cola Company is paying the same as the craft brewery around the corner? Or is it the number of followers that do not reflect the company’s income? Regardless, the idea is part of the Musk style. belittle organized plans and act instinctivelyLet’s face it, it works so far.
