Elon Musk has said he will start charging people to use the social media site formerly known as Twitter.

NBC News reports the billionaire businessman, who renamed the platform to X, revealed on a live stream that the company would introduce a "small monthly payment" to combat "vast armies of bots".

Musk has long complained about the presence of fake s on the platform, and tried to use his concerns to wriggle out of his deal to buy it last year.

He did not offer further details about the new fee, such as a price or whether it would include extra features.

Sky News has ed X for comment, though its press office is largely unresponsive.

The move would kill off what has long been one of the site's most popular memes, where s caption shots of particularly striking posts with a near-incredulous "this website is free".

X already offers a subscription costing £9.60 a month, which gives s a verification tick, lets them write longer posts and edit existing ones, and prioritises their in search results.

Musk spoke about the plans in a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where the Tesla and SpaceX owner sought to address criticism over his running of the platform.

Since buying Twitter for $44bn (£38bn), the self-described "free speech absolutist" has been accused of allowing disinformation, racism, misogyny, and antisemitism to thrive.

If you charge $1-4 per.month. People who use x for spamming would still pay the charge.


Twitter's likeability is dieing. It ought to rather be focusing on convincing people to stay and expanding operations. The popularity it onced enjoyed seems to be on a steady decline.

E no fit stop anything. Worst case, the app go die like 2go.

Elitist agenda activated.

Or he never dey used to electrónics then

It will be d end of Twitter. Try it man.

The smart thing to do will be to charge only corporations with over 100,000 followers
If there’s a mandatory fee people will troop to jack’s new social app, Donald trump’s truthsocial or Zuckerberg’s thread

This Elon of a guy is gradually killing the popularity of Twitter. One thing I learnt with him owning Twitter is that no matter what "you can't be the master of everything".

If X starts charging fee, na to cancel the X be that o

The guy by all means wants to recovery the $44b back he used to purchase twitter

Nobody force am to buy twitter

Na to go to the next alternative sharply

Make all men carry their cross

Elon Musk will finally kill Twitter, seems Zuckerberg has cast a spell on him

we go turn the equation to x*x... =Bleep

Zuckerberg cast a spell on musk to be crazy!! This isn’t ordinary

Elon musk just want to get data of a many people in the world.

So you believe you wld make payment to X and musk wld not have you banking details and phone number and home address and even particularly location at any time?

He also stated one credit card per except it's a business which means highest only 2 s per card.

So it'll surely reduce bot, will not create bank s and credit cards too?

I know one box and am in my thirties. When i got introduced to internet around year 2000 na one box email dey reign then but the interface of yahoo was better and yahoo later introduced yahoo messenger which made the site very popular. That time you go go cafe go buy time to browse no be now whey u fit do everything on your phone. Abeg who for here millennium bug. Whey them talk say all computers go reset hinsef automatically. That all your files on the computer will wipe off.

Internet technology has really advanced and it will still improve when there will be 7g network. That ls the network that wld power robots and artificial intelligence. That wld be the next wonder of the world after internet. Robotic tech and artificial intelligence will transform the world in a way that we wld not believe.

Now the cards creation won't be automated like creating a free tweeter


Imagine having to set up 5 s just to setup up 5 bots that should normally take less than 2 minutes to do.

Lol you haven't seen serious hackers bro chill. I've worked with hackers who mean business. I mean Egyptians, Germans, Palestinians, Romanians, Italians, Brazilians. You don't even know how they think. Lol.


They could go on worldwide shopping cart hack to get one million cards. Use at least 30% to create these s and continue their business. Hackers don't think how you normal humans think or reason. Just as your response very basic and weak


We're talking about people with knowledge of how to for example send 100,000 emails within thirty minutes

Hackers capable of that would make much more doing something else than making bots for twitter.

The idea is not to stop bots but reduce .

If bots did 10x before, with this development it'll be 4x, 5x

You don't know how hackers think and act. I dare to say again. Before you at further, I've had cause to work with atleast 100
