Considering Mozilla had to lay off a significant amount of the company, including almost all of the developers on the rust teams, not too long ago I’m not so sure how comfortably they can afford it.
Once they start charging for [MDN Plus](https://www.ghacks.net/2022/02/21/mdn-plus-mozilla-plans-to-...) they'll not only be able to afford it, but also give their board well deserved raises. After all, user surveys keep indicating that what Mozilla users want more than anything else is to pay for User generated MDN content.

This isn't what's planned. They will not be charging for user-generated content including all content currently available on MDN. They will be charging for additional in-depth articles as well as some "premium" features when it comes to personalization and easier off-line use[0].
[0] and of course nobody will prevent you from rolling our own such features or even a competing MDN-like site, as the content is available under CC-BY-SA-2.5 on github.
