Elon Musk has indicated that X, formerly known as Twitter, is preparing to charge all users for accessing the platform.
The X owner said erecting a paywall around the business would ward off the bots, or automated accounts, that have become a bugbear for Musk.
Speaking in a meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, the Tesla CEO and world’s richest person suggested that X was going to charge its user base. Currently, Twitter only charges users for its subscription service X Premium, which offers perks such as a verified account checkmark and costs $11 a month in the US for iPhones and £11 in the UK.
Did you honestly just link to the Epoch Times? Calling it trash would be too complimentary.
In this case, what they’re reporting on has been suggested by Musk himself on more than one occassion. It’s basically been his lifelong dream to create a one stop shop X app, similar to WeChat in China. That’s what he was aiming for back in the Paypal days.
