Elon Musk Proposes Subscription Fees for X (Formerly Twitter)

Elon Musk has hinted that X, formerly known as Twitter, is planning to charge all users for accessing the platform in an effort to combat bots. Musk believes that implementing a paywall would deter bot operators, as it would increase the cost of setting up and maintaining automated accounts. Currently, Twitter only charges for its subscription service, X Premium, but Musk suggests that a small monthly payment for all users may be introduced. Musk's conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also touched on issues of free speech and antisemitism on the platform.
