I think the business model of Twitter will change dramatically under Musk.Maybe, but the other businesses can still grow. They are tangible. That’s why they have value. How do you improve on a platform like Twitter? What new features can there be to keep people interested?
The only revenue from Twitter is user base and ads, and you can’t just spam ads indefinitely because people will leave. Him taking Twitter is as dumb as Zuck pushing meta. Nobody is asking for a better experience through innovation. Most just want it to be how they remembered it when they joined.
He will always maintain a "free" version but I suspect he will follow other services like Youtube and offer to partner with the top creative accounts and ultimately offer them a part of revenue sharing generated from a new type of Twitter user subscription.
Those things rarely benefit the average person unfortunately, but as long as large companies, popular influencers, and most importantly, celebrities and famous people keep using it then average people will keep using it to follow them.
