Amidst the creator monetization program announcement on Twitter, Minecraft speedrunner Dream has tried to reach out to Elon Musk. 

For quite some time, Elon Musk has been trying to change things at the Twitter headquarters. He has implemented various strategies to improve business, let alone support the users and creators. However, the population has been greatly disappointed at his attempts, as they felt robbed. For instance, users complained about the verification status – now available for $8 per month. Previously, users could only get this badge with their exclusivity, allowing it to hold some importance. But well, it looked like Musk was not in favor as he changed the meta.

So, to come up with another idea, the CEO launched a monetization program for creators, where they could charge for their content. And yet again, it felt like Musk wasn’t listening as Dream, the avid Minecraft player, felt shadowed over his application status.

Looking at this, multiple creators celebrated this win in the comments section. However, there was one creator that explained his sorrows as he felt left out. Dream, the popular Minecraft speedrunner, replied to Elon’s thread, talking about his application. Apparently, Clay had applied to the program long back, but his request never came out of the archives. So, he wished the Twitter CEO to help him as he wanted to start something of his own.

This makes us wonder what kind of content Dream would set for his exclusive subscribers. Would it be some secret Minecraft tips or hacks, or maybe something entirely new? Well, that’s something that time will help us understand, but for now, it looks like he needs the main man’s help.
