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.
I’m convinced he’s ruining Twitter on purpose. He’s still pissed he was forced into buying it.
I like the theory that he’s killing it to prevent us peons from organizing politically.
I think you’re right but I don’t like it.
It’s impractical. Pandoras Box of social media has been opened. Killing a few big sites isn’t going to stop it
He did the whole hyperloop nonsense to sell more Teslas, so there is precedent for it at least.

He did the hyper loop to stop the mass transit systems. Not really to sell more Teslas.
