Elon Musk has long shown interest in making Twitter profitable. In the past, he has proposed ideas such as a dedicated revenue stream for content creators and Twitter Blue. However, Twitter Blue faced backlash from big names like LeBron James, who refused to pay a monthly fee for more features on the platform. Musk’s focus has now shifted to sharing ad revenue with creators. He hopes to make the platform more appealing to content creators.

In February 2023, Musk announced that Twitter would start sharing ad revenue with creators. The company will be gradually rolling out the feature in countries around the world. Additionally, Twitter has begun allowing creators to opt for a subscription-based model on the platform, similar to Twitch. These changes reflect Musk’s desire to create a more content-friendly Twitter, where creators can earn a fair share of the revenue generated by their work.

MrBeast, for his part, has been vocal about the need for changes to facilitate content creation on Twitter. Recently, Elon Musk put up a poll about stepping down as CEO. In response to this, MrBeast jokingly suggested that he should be the new CEO. He joked about making changes to the platform to better serve creators.

The interaction between MrBeast and Elon Musk on Twitter highlights the growing importance of content creation in the digital age. With social media platforms everywhere around us, creators have more opportunities than ever before to build their audiences. By rolling out new ad revenue and subscription-based features, Musk appears to be taking steps towards creating a more supportive environment for creators on Twitter.
