Elon Musk Proposes Monthly Subscription Fee for X Social Media Platform

Elon Musk has suggested that users of X, formerly known as Twitter, may have to pay for access to the platform as a way to counter bots. Musk has previously advocated for charging for verification to eliminate bots and fake accounts. X Premium, a paid subscription service with enhanced features, already exists, but Musk is now considering introducing a lower-tier pricing option. However, putting X behind a paywall could potentially lead to a loss of users and a decline in advertising revenue. Musk's conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also touched on the issue of antisemitism on the platform, with Musk reiterating his stance against it.
