Fixing search on Twitter, creator monetisation high on priority: Elon Musk

Musk said, ‘search within Twitter reminds me of Infoseek in ‘98! That will also get a lot better pronto.’ and reiterated that fixing search was high on his priority list when asked by a user.

Regarding paying a potion of ad revenues to content creators – like it is done across several platforms – he said Twitter can beat what’s being offered by others.

Responding to a tweet from a social media influencer, who said: “YouTube gives creators 55% of ad revenue, FWIW,” Musk said, ‘we can beat that.’
