Elon Musk's Twitter profile lets users pay $4 to follow it for premium news. With almost 25,000 people subscribing, the billionaire earns around $100,000 from his profile subscribers alone.

This came after the now Twitter owners announced the rebranding of its "Super Followers" to "Subscriptions" on April 13, during that time revealing that he had almost 24,700 subscribers. Musk shared a screenshot showing how he followed 240 users, had 136.4 million followers, and had 24.7k subscribers.

With exactly 24,700 subscribers paying $4 each, the billionaire would earn $98,800 monthly from the subscribers alone.

The post was with the intent of showing creators how to enable subscriptions within the platform under the Professional Tools dropdown. Users can see three options under this: Twitter for Professionals, Twitter Ads, and Monetization.

As for what content paying subscribers would get, Musk noted that they would be able to "ask-me-anything" once every few weeks. This was as the billionaire shared how creators would be able to charge their subscribers for "exclusive content" with the help of Subscriptions.

While paying subscribers would get access to users' premium content, it was also noted that they would get a special badge to help users identify the paying users from the regular followers.

Recently, the old verified Twitter Blue checks have disappeared. This includes journalists, academics, and even well-known public figures.

These include some of the most prominent names on Twitter, including Beyonce, Bill Gates, Pope Francis, former US President Donald Trump, and even Twitter's founder, Jack Dorsey.

Even some government agencies lost their verifications, including the US Citizenship and Immigration Services and some state Customs and Border Patrol offices.

Recently, CBC/Radio-Canada announced that it would be pausing the use of Twitter after the social media platform had its main account labelled "government-funded media." The decision came as Leon Mar, the media relations director of CBC, said that they sent a letter to Twitter to re-examine the designation.
