Elon Musk says Twitter, now X, is moving to small monthly subscription

Elon Musk plans to introduce a small monthly fee for the use of the social media platform, X, in an effort to combat bots and fake accounts. He believes that even a minor cost to bots would be effective in reducing their presence.
Musk is considering offering a lower tier pricing option for users, in addition to the current $8 monthly fee for X Premium. This move aims to make the platform more affordable and accessible.
Musk's implementation of paid subscriptions on X has led to criticism, including allegations of not doing enough to prevent antisemitic content and removing the old bluecheck verification system. However, Musk affirmed his commitment to combating antisemitism.
