Elon Musk's X Ends Creator Revenue Sharing Program with Final Payouts in September
Elon Musk's social media platform X (formerly Twitter) is ending its Creator Revenue Sharing programme, with final payments to eligible users scheduled through September 11, 2026. The programme, which paid users with Premium accounts based on engagement, closed new signups on August 7. X cited misaligned incentives, noting some creators reused content to earn payouts. A new original content reward programme will replace it, initially available only to current revenue-sharing participants.
