Why It Matters: Since Twitter rebranded the “Super Follows” feature to just “Subscriptions,” the tech billionaire has subscribed to various influencers. As per June end report, Musk subscribes to a whopping 89 influencers on the platform, including Lex Fridman, Marques Brownlee, Dogecoin DOGE/USD co-founder Billy Markus and The Babylon Bee.

This service basically allows users to monetize their content and make some quick bucks.

Musk has been vocal about the rising usage of Twitter, especially in comparison to Meta Platforms Inc.’s Threads. Over the weekend, Musk took to Twitter to share the increase in “Total User Active Seconds” on the platform, stating that usage was up by 3.5% week-over-week.

Meanwhile, Twitter initiated payments to its creators through its ad revenue-sharing program, with some individuals earning up to $37,050.
