New strategy: Musk wants to make X users pay for posts
Quick Glance: Musk: New X Users to Pay Fee
  • Elon Musk plans for new users of X to initially pay a fee to publish posts and exclude bots.

  • Introducing this fee is aimed at reducing the activity of automated bot accounts on the platform.

  • Tests in New Zealand and the Philippines, however, raised skepticism about the effectiveness of the fee, as it could lead to higher costs and spammers.

  • The introduction of fees for basic functions at X and the decline in advertising revenues since Musk's takeover have had negative impacts on the platform and the brands advertising there.
