X/Twitter will charge new users to post, Elon Musk says
Quick Glance: Musk Plans Fee for New X Users
  • Elon Musk intends to charge new users of X in the initial months to curb the activity of automated bot accounts.

  • The fee is set to be waived after three months to allow free posting.

  • Tests in New Zealand and the Philippines raised skepticism about the effectiveness of the fee as a countermeasure against bots.

  • Declining revenues at X post-rebranding and Twitter acquisition, along with a negative brand perception by companies, are impacting the service's business.
