We believe in fast and secure messaging that is also 100% free. Therefore Telegram is not a commercial project. It is not intended to sell ads, bring revenue or accept outside investment. If Telegram runs out of money, we'll invite our users to donate or add non-essential paid options. Yeah, but where does there money come from?
