Elon Musk offers former YouTube Gaming head job at Twitter Joshua Hoehne via UnsplashElon Musk has offered a former YouTube Gaming lead a job at Twitter following big ambitions to bring YouTubers over to the platform for 10% more pay. After months of waiting, Elon Musk has finally obtained the keys to Twitter after a $44 billion acquisition was completed on October 27. Already looking for ways for the platform to make money, Twitter has seen the introduction of verification badges for Twitter Blue subscribers, which now allows anyone to purchase a checkmark for $7.99. Among other ideas to get the cash rolling in, such as plans to introduce \u2018paid DMs\u2019, Elon is looking to bring YouTubers over to the platform and offer them 10% more than what they\u2019re already paid for their content. The billionaire first suggested the idea during a staff Q&A at Twitter, which he further backed in a reply to a tweet on November 14, where former YouTube Gaming lead Ryan Wyatt joined the conversation to share some insight. \u201cRan Gaming at YT for almost 8 years. YT\u2019s monetization is pretty damn good and it would be considerable MG\u2019s to ensure this bump,\u201d said the former employee. \u201cBut definitely would draw more eyeballs to the platform. Gaming alone had ~350M logged-in daily users at YT when I was there.\u201d Elon replied back with a simple message saying \u201cJoin Twitter,\u201d \u2014 to which hundreds from the gaming and esports community familiar with the former YouTube lead backed. OpTic Gaming CEO Hector \u2018HECZ\u2019 Rodriguez was one of many to get behind the idea. \u201cHe might be the only one that can save this,\u201d he said. Many more from the community including top gaming creators vouched for Ryan to get the job, though nothing has come of it as of yet. If Musk is serious about bringing YouTubers over to Twitter, then it certainly would be a smart move to get Wyatt on board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
