Surprise! Elon Musk was busy tweeting over the weekend, including his priorities for Twitter, from fixing search (pronto) to making Twitter “by the far the most accurate source of information about the world.”
He also asked a user how YouTube’s monetization works and where Twitter can improve. One person noted that YouTube gives creators 55% of ad revenue. “We can beat that,” Musk replied. Hank Green, a veteran YouTuber, wasn’t buying it. “He literally had to ask how YouTube share’s revenue,” Green tweeted on Sunday. “The headline here is ‘Elon Musk has no idea how the creator economy works.’”
