After first year, iOS & Android fees…
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 13, 2023
However, Google has refuted Musk’s claim, stating that the service fee for all subscriptions on Google Play was reduced from 30% to 15% last year. Twitter’s latest move to generate more revenue comes as Musk claims the company is “roughly breaking even.”
Since taking over Twitter in October, Musk has implemented new features, including Twitter Blue, which grants users a blue checkmark if they pay for a monthly membership. He has also reduced the workforce by around 80%.
Neither Apple nor Google has responded to requests for comment from Insider outside of normal business hours. Twitter responded to the inquiry with an automated message that did not address the question.
