Twitter Payments Soon?

The latest move comes only as an extension of Musk’s resolve to increase Twitter’s revenue. Besides applying for regulatory licenses, it is reported that Twitter is preparing the digital infrastructure to launch the payments feature. Therefore, subject to regulatory scrutiny, the platform is all but certain to introduce payments, leaving a lot of scope for the mode and type of payment methods. It is widely known that Musk is a big supporter of meme coin DOGE, which led to huge speculation around the combination.

According to a Financial Times report, a small team under Esther Crawford, Director of Product Management, at the company is already involved in making the payments feature work for the platform. Musk had in the past expressed interest in launching peer-to-peer transactions, savings accounts and debit cards at Twitter.
