Ali Zafar replied to the tweet, pitching his suggestion to the platform’s owner. He wrote, “Bigger incentives for content creators. Go beyond “likes” and “followers”. Enable them to build their own on line digital empires. A world they can create, learn and earn from. Clubs. Rooms. Likeminded people connecting, creating, auctioning, selling, monetising, sharing.” Agreeing to the suggestion, Musk replied, “Twitter has amazing content in Japan – roughly half of all adults online – but it’s almost never seen outside of Japan.”

In another tweet, the internationally acclaimed singer asked to change the algorithm of Twitter to allow content to have a higher reach. “Change the algorithms. A person sitting in U.S should be able to come across content being made in Japan more easily and vice versa. Tweets and content should have a much higher reach and monetisation. Companies can pay for reach, individuals can’t,” he wrote.
Twitter to Bring Back Vines
In order to compete with TikTok, Elon Musk tasked employees with developing a new version of the video platform Vine. Musk tweeted a poll on his profile asking if he should bring back the service, and more than two-thirds of the users supported the idea of restoring Vine.
