Elon Musk, the CEO of the social media platform X Monday, Musk offered a fee of a few dollars for users who are not yet registered to write replies to, respond to, and like articles.

In a blog post on X, Musk said such the measure was unavoidable for the site to “curb the relentless onslaught of bots” on the site.

“Current AI (and troll farms) can pass are you a bot with ease,” said the researcher.

Then, in a further discussion of the growing issue of bots and fake accounts spreading false information along with spam about X the web, he stated: “The onslaught of fake accounts also uses up the available namespace, so many good handles are taken as a result.”

Musk stated that the hassle of having to pay a cost will be offset by the advantages, stating: “This is only for new users. They will be able to do write actions for free after 3 months.”

The information is not yet made public regarding the date to implement the policy, or on the fees specific to new users could be expected to pay.

The month of October was when X introduced a one-time cost for all new unauthenticated users from New Zealand and the Philippines to publish and interact with content to fight bot and spam activity.

Elon Musk responding to Comments:

Responding to a user who posted on the possibility of changes the Tesla and SpaceX bosses said that the cost of charging users who are new to share, like and then reply is the ‘sole method’ to prevent fake or bot accounts from being on SpaceX.

The announcement has not been received well by the majority of users, with a single warning this change could drive millions of users away from the site.’

From paid-for features to a major change in branding, it’s safe affirm the company X (formerly Twitter ) has changed completely over the last one year since Elon Musk was appointed. The self-proclaimed “chief twitterer’ has teased his next big move that could be expensive

X is set to begin charging new users small fees for interaction with other users via posts. Musk has stated.

The year before, X launched a pilot program with a pilot program in New Zealand and the Philippines that required users to pay a yearly one-dollar subscription to be able to use the most important features.

Musk’s comments suggest trials are now being rolled out to a wider audience.

“Unfortunately, a modest fee for new users to access to write is the only method to stop the constant influx of robots’ stated.

“Current AI” (and Troll farms) can answer “Are you a bot?” easily.

The avalanche of fake accounts can also eat up the available namespace, which means that a number of good handles are viewed in the process.’

In a second response to a different account that questioned the method, Mr. Musk stated that the fee could only be applicable for the first 3 months following the time a new user is added to the platform.

However, some users have voiced their displeasure regarding the changes being proposed.

One user commented “X Premium doesn’t prevent bots from gaining access, therefore how should a small cost make any difference? It’s just going to force millions of users away from it.’

One user commented “X Premium doesn’t stop bots, so how could a small cost have any impact? It’s just going to force millions of people off the platform’

Responding to Musk, one user wrote: “Not bad. Being able to share, like, respond to or bookmark a post is a right that should come with no cost. “X cannot be an open-air town hall if people require a fee to speak. Speech freedom ought to be available for all.’

One user remarked that ‘Bots make money. They’ll pay for the fees as well’

Responding to Musk Another wrote: ‘Not a good idea. The ability to like, respond to or bookmark a post should be available for free. X isn’t the town hall of if citizens require a fee to speak. The right to speak freely ought to be free.’

A user also remarked: “Bots make money. They’ll pay for the fees as well.’

The billionaire stated that removing fake accounts and bot accounts was an important goal for him when he took over the platform at the end of 2022.

However there have been reports that users have noticed an increase in spam-related content partly because of Mr Musk’s massive reductions in staff, including the company’s Content Moderation team.

The new verification system, whereby anyone can purchase a verification by the platform as well as have their posts and responses positioned more prominently on the website It has also been linked in some circles to increasing prominence of spam-related content.

Mr. Musk has stated previously that users may eventually be required to pay to make use of X.

Since the control, it’s been noted that the website has seen a substantial decline in revenues because advertisers have left it because of concerns over Mr. Musk’s stance on ‘absolute free speech’ and his acceptance of controversial content.

The company has been forced to look into subscription options – such as X Premium, which enables customers to pay for their account to be verified to create new revenue streams.
