Elon Musk, during a conversation with Benjamin Netanyahu and others about AI, announced that X (formerly Twitter) will be implementing user fees on their social media platform.
The purpose of these fees is to reduce the number of bots on the platform. Musk explained that even a small fee would make it financially unsustainable for individuals or organizations to operate a large number of fake accounts.
Additionally, X may require users to pay the fee with a unique payment method, making it difficult for fake account creators to make payments with different methods.
Musk believes that this is the only effective way to combat the widespread issue of bots on X.
However, he did not disclose the specific fee that X plans to charge or how it will differ from the current paid membership option.
X currently has 550 million users and generates millions of posts daily, but it is unclear if these figures include spam accounts and their posts.
