Billionaire also says platform has 550 million monthly users generating up to 200m posts a day

Elon Musk has indicated that X, formerly known as Twitter, is preparing to charge all users for accessing the platform.

The X owner said erecting a paywall around the business would ward off the bots, or automated accounts, that have become a bugbear for Musk.

Speaking in a meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, the Tesla CEO and world’s richest person suggested that X was going to charge its user base. Currently, Twitter only charges users for its subscription service X Premium, which offers perks such as a verified account checkmark and costs $11 a month in the US for iPhones and £11 in the UK.

    My theory is that someone has unflattering evidence of him on Epstein Island and other such things. I think those evil mob forces have him by the balls and they want Twitter killed subtly since the left organizes there and other countries have organized revolutions against authority there. So his job is to kill it and make it look like he just fumbled it. I think the only thing he regrets is whatever it is he did that gave people the power to blackmail him.
