Twitter CEO Elon Musk - Six Ways to Turn Twitter Into an "Everything App"

Twitter CEO Elon Musk has revealed six ways that he plans to turn Twitter into an "everything app". Musk presented slides at an internal meeting which showed six goals for the future of Twitter, including advertising as entertainment, longform tweets, encrypted DMs, user-to-user payments, and more. Musk published the slides on Twitter without further context, making it difficult to read too far into his plans. Musk posted a photo of Twitter's Notes feature to show his intentions for longer tweets. Twitter trialed this feature with a small group of writers earlier in the year. It's possible that Musk plans to compete with YouTube by saying he can provide better compensation. He also tweeted that he'd like to revive the short-form video app Vine. Twitter will soon offer a "verified" badge for users who pay a monthly fee, as well as other perks like priority placement in search results and mentions. The price for this service is currently $7.99 per month, but it is unclear if this is a permanent price or if it will increase in the future. Twitter CEO Elon Musk has said that he wants to turn Twitter into a digital marketplace where creators can set their own prices for content.
