Elon Musk has announced that X, formerly known as Twitter, will start charging a small annual fee for new users to post, like, bookmark, or reply to content. This measure is intended to curb the relentless onslaught of bots on the platform. Musk emphasized that this small annual fee is necessary as previous attempts to control bot activity have been ineffective. While new users will need to pay to interact, they will still be able to follow accounts and browse content without any charges.
