Bots, or automated accounts, have been a long-standing issue on social media platforms, often used to spread misinformation, spam, or engage in malicious activities.
However, Musk did not provide specific information about how much the monthly fee would cost users or what additional features would be included in the subscription at the lowest tier.
X users react to Musk charging them fee
This left many curious about the financial implications for X's users and the extent to which this change would affect the platform's accessibility.
One X user ignited reactions after asking:
"If Musk does make all X users pay a fee, as he has just stated he will do no matter how small, will you be staying? i will not be giving criminal access to my bank account for him to sell to Russian hackers for millions of dollars. I will shut my X account down."
@Gazz1815:
"Nope. I'm out if that happens."
@AlwaysNcog52034:
"No and I have a strong feeling there are a lot of people who feel the same way I do. Elon was upset that he caused the company to lose money, half its value. I guess we'll see how much lower he can take it."
@Francis25302314:
"With you 100% Musk won’t get one dollar from me. Twitter X will be no more."
@WWhitness
"Nope, will absolutely not pay - nor will the majority of ppl on here. There will be no one."
@Dixie202021:
"Nope. I'm out if he does this."
