Billionaire also says platform has 550 million monthly users generating up to 200m posts a day

Elon Musk has indicated that X, formerly known as Twitter, is preparing to charge all users for accessing the platform.

The X owner said erecting a paywall around the business would ward off the bots, or automated accounts, that have become a bugbear for Musk.

Speaking in a meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, the Tesla CEO and world’s richest person suggested that X was going to charge its user base. Currently, Twitter only charges users for its subscription service X Premium, which offers perks such as a verified account checkmark and costs $11 a month in the US for iPhones and £11 in the UK.

      What, you didn’t pick “Born to emerald mine magnate” at the character creator? It really is the only logical choice, you know.

        Didn’t wanna spend 5 hours at the char creation screen so I just clicked “randomise”.

          Edit: Odd to see an innocuous joke get downvoted. Was the wink not enough?
