X/Twitter will charge new users to post, Elon Musk says: Making users pay is only way to stop bots taking over platform
independent.co.uk/tech/x-twitter-elon-musk-pay-to-post-b2529566.html
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.

Quick Glance: Powell Warns of Lack of Progress on Inflation
- Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that the U.S. economy, while otherwise strong, has not seen a return of inflation to the central bank's target.
- Powell mentioned that the current policy should remain in place as inflation has not declined quickly enough and there has been no further progress towards the 2% goal.
- Since July 2023, the Fed has maintained its benchmark interest rate in a target range between 5.25% and 5.5%, the result of 11 consecutive rate hikes.
- Financial markets have had to adjust their expectations for rate cuts this year as inflation has been higher than expected, and the Fed's policy continues to be dependent on data.
