This is the best summary I could come up with:
Elon Musk says X, formerly known as Twitter, is considering having its users pay a “small monthly payment” to use the social media platform.
On Monday, Musk made the remarks during a livestreamed conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about artificial intelligence, saying the fee would be meant to keep bots off X.
The meeting with Netanyahu comes weeks after Musk said he may sue the Anti-Defamation League for purportedly accusing X and him of antisemitism, and fueling advertisers’ exodus from the social network.
The ADL flagged a surge in bullying and antisemitic posts on X following the billionaire’s acquisition of the social network last year.
This is a longer discussion, but in my view, this is actually the only defense against vast armies of bots," he said.
Currently, X has a premium subscription service where it charges users for certain features, including being able to edit a post and having prioritized rankings in conversations and search.
