Elon Musk has a new experiment with Twitter ready. According to reports, the social media platform's CEO will soon offer users the option to purchase newspaper articles.
In a statement on Saturday, the billionaire announced that he would implement a financial model that has failed when tested by other platforms in the past.
"Starting next month, Twitter will allow media publishers to charge readers per article, with just a simple click," Musk wrote in a tweet.
Since the founder of the companies "Tesla" and "SpaceX" acquired ownership of Twitter last October, he has continued to propose ideas and changes to the platform, causing confusion and uncertainty quite a few times.
“This will allow users who do not pay a monthly subscription to pay a higher price per article when they want to read occasionally. So it's a win-win for the media and readers," Musk was quoted as saying.
He, however, did not give more details about the prices or the operation of this new model.
However, experts referring to previous attempts at this model do not expect Musk's next idea to have much chance of success.
