X (formerly Twitter) considers charging users for platform access

Elon Musk has suggested that all users of X, formerly called Twitter, may have to pay for access to the platform.

Mr Musk has long said that his solution for getting rid of bots and fake accounts on the social media platform is charging for verification.

Although there is a clear financial interest for the company to charge users, Mr Musk insisted that getting people to pay for the service is aimed at tackling bots.

The world’s richest person said that he was now looking at cheaper options for users.

However, a risk is that by putting X behind a paywall it may lose a large chunk of its users

In a statement, the organisation said that Mr Musk was “engaging with and elevating” antisemites.

In the conversation with Mr Netanyahu, Mr Musk reiterated that he was “against antisemitism”.
