It's been a wild ride since Musk took the helm of the social media platform, promising to turn Twitter into a "digital town square," and stem the negative cash flow. So far, that's included laying off 80 percent of Twitter employees, charging third-party apps up to $42,000 for the API, and making verified Twitter accounts subscription-based. Many advertisers have left the platform over Musk's, shall we say, laissez-faire attitude towards content moderation. Recently, Musk brought in former NBCUniversal exec Linda Yaccarino as CEO who is tasked with bringing back ad revenue.

As part of its long-term plan to entice content creators and lure influencers back to the site, Twitter has started sharing ad revenue with select Twitter Blue subscribers. User Brian Krassenstein was recently paid almost $25,000.
