X boss Elon Musk recently spoke to Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. The talk held between the two was live-streamed on the Musk-owned platform, better called X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n
Elon Musk hinted at a possible \u201csmall monthly payment\u201d to use X. He believes that this move could possibly work as a final nail to the coffin of bots on the platform. He admits, \u201cIt\u2019s the only way I can think of to combat vast armies of bots.\u201d <\/p>\n
He explains, \u201cBecause a cost fraction of a penny, call it a tenth of a penny but even if it has to pay\u2014a few dollars or something, the effective cost of bots is very high,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201csmall amount of money\u201d
\nWhile Musk hinted at a possible small fee, he doesn\u2019t go into digits\u2014explaining how much would this subscription service cost. Notably, Twitter or X already has a subscription called X Premium, previously Twitter Blue, which comes at $8 per month or $84 per year\u2014and the price varies from device to device due to platform fees\u2014offering a blue check, the ability to edit posts, more words in one post, and a plethora of other features. <\/p>\n
Musk, during the conversation, also shared the social media figures. He tells the Israeli PM that X has 550 million monthly users generating over 100-200 million posts per day. However, most haven\u2019t fallen for an X Premium subscription. TechCrunch notes that an analysis revealed only about 8.27 lakh users have subscribed to X Premium. It also adds that this move to charge everyone a small amount of money doesn\u2019t come unexpectedly, and it had always been in the cards referring to Elon Musk\u2019s plans of putting all of Twitter behind a paywall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
