The American billionaire Elon Musk continues to surprise users of the “X” platform (formerly Twitter).
In bad news, TweetDeck is no longer free, as you now have to pay to use it, according to the British Daily Mail.
wide criticism
Users are directed to a paid sign-up page when they try to access TweetDeck, which is especially popular with social media managers and journalists.
While this change sparked widespread criticism from users, as one of them said on “X”: “Another decision from Elon Musk that literally no one asked for.”
$40 million
It is noteworthy that Twitter bought TweetDeck in London in 2011, in a deal valued at $40 million by specialized media at the time.
Since then, TweetDeck has been free for users, and has proven extremely popular, with an estimated 20% using it.
It is noteworthy that the “X” platform announced last July that TweetDeck will be available only to owners of “verified” accounts, starting from the same month.
