Elon Musk is going to charge a ‘small monthly payment’ from all X users and the social media platform will not be a free place anymore soon.
In an interaction with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the X owner floated the idea that the social network may no longer be a free site, in a bid to deal with the problem of bots on the platform.
“It’s the only way I can think of to combat vast armies of bots, Musk said . “Because a bot costs a fraction of a penny — call it a tenth of a penny — but even if it has to pay a few dollars or something, the effective cost of bots is very high,” the billionaire added.
The idea of charging everyone on X is not a new idea as last year, Musk floated it for the first time. The users predicted that Musk would charge them one day or the other.
