According to The New York Times report, Twitter is working on adding a paid direct message feature.
According to internal documents, the paid direct feature message will allow the user to talk to influential personalities for a limited period of time.
Twitter will offer a special section in the DMs where celebrities or other high-profile Twitter users will see paid message requests, as per the report.
It will be up to celebrities if they choose to accept the paid message or the paid message request.
The paid messaging plans are focused on "Very Important Tweeters, or V.I.T.s" and will involve a message fee worth a few dollars for each message.
Twitter is currently working on making blue tick marks a paid feature as well.
