Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has suggested that social media platform X could require all users to pay a subscription fee for access.
According to a report by the BBC, Musk made these remarks during a discussion with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Musk stated that the company is considering implementing a system where every user must make monthly payments to access the platform. He explained that this move could serve as a solution to combat "bots and fake accounts" on X.
“We are going to implement a low-tier pricing system. This is a longer discussion, but in my opinion, this approach is the only defense against the bot army on the platform,” Musk said.
