X Creator Payout Hike: Elon Musk Ready To Pay Creators More Than YouTube, Asks Product Head Nikita Bier To Enforce Fair Monetisation
Elon Musk has signalled plans to increase creator payouts on X, potentially exceeding YouTube’s earnings. Responding to user feedback, Musk said platforms that reward creators will retain authoritative content. He has asked X product head Nikita Bier to enforce fair monetisation as higher payouts are rolled out across the platform globally.
Elon Musk has agreed to pay creators on X a higher amount compared to YouTube. The tech billionaire responded to a user on X who suggested significantly increasing creator payouts, stating, “because the platforms that actually pay will be the only ones that will have any authoritative content left once the LLMs finish eating the rest of the internet’s homework, which they have already done for the most part.” Elon later replied, “OK, let’s do it, but rigorously enforce no gaming of the system.” This indicates that X is likely to pay creators more than YouTube in the future.
