Twitter-X Plans to Charge New Users to Post

Summary:

Elon Musk has suggested that X (Twitter) may start charging its users to combat the issue of bots on the platform. Currently, Twitter only charges for its premium service, but Musk hinted at a small monthly fee for all users. He mentioned that the low cost of setting up bots could be deterred by requiring payment for access. Musk did not confirm if this plan would be implemented, but mentioned the decline in ad revenue due to an advertiser boycott. The discussion also touched on free speech and antisemitism, with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu urging Musk to address hate speech on the platform. Musk revealed that X has 550 million monthly users and is considering changes to address these issues.
