His leadership has seen the launch of a monthly Twitter Blue subscription for $8. The company has also cut costs through the reduction of large numbers and downsizing offices.<\/p>\n<p>With the approaching 2024 presidential election, this latest change could open up new revenue streams.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, Twitter\u2019s political advertising <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wate.com\/news\/ap-twitter-says-it-will-relax-ban-on-political-advertising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">brought in<\/a> Below $3 million Musk likely expects to make a profit on some of the political spending, which is usually focused on television and other media forms, during the next election cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter could tap into political advertising dollars on other tech platforms. Facebook and YouTube allow political ads while TikTok doesn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>These changes could impact not only political ads but also other aspects of advertising. \u201cissue-based\u201d Advertisements that address social causes or issues offer new opportunities for cause-oriented marketers as well as Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Musk had previously restored the Twitter account of Donald Trump, who was banned from it since January 2021. The action followed a Twitter poll Musk posted that ended with 51.8% of users agreeing Trump\u2019s account should be reinstated.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Reinstate former President Trump<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1593767953706921985?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 19, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Trump has yet to return to Twitter.
