Elon Musk says Twitter (X) will start charging a monthly fee for all users of the platform

Elon Musk discussed his plans for Twitter, now called X, on Monday during a livestreamed conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Among other things, Musk said the social network is "moving to having a small monthly payment for use of the X system" in order to combat "vast armies of bots."
Musk did not say how much a new plan would cost users of the social network, or what other features would or would not be included with payment at the lowest tier.
During the livestream, Musk also divulged some new metrics from X, saying it now has 550 million "monthly users," who generate 100 million to 200 million posts per day.
Musk did not disclose how many of the company's monthly users are authentic, versus bots. He also did not make an apples-to-apples comparison with metrics previously used by Twitter. In May 2022, before Musk's takeover, Twitter reported that it had "average monetizable daily active usage" of 229 million.

Elon must think X is a way bigger part of people's lives than it is. The vast majority will not pay.

His plan to drive up popularity of TruthSocial

There’s nothing on Twitter I can’t get elsewhere for free. Paying for social media is bizarre to me.

That seems like a terrible idea, but I'm also not a billionaire, so maybe I have no idea what is or what isn't a good idea.
I just know that I would never pay for social media.

I mean I’ll never pay for it, but has Twitter really lost any popularity since he bought it or has hating Elon just become more popular?

Pretty sure this is fake news. He was talking about two tiers of the premium subscription that already exists.

No thanks. Twitter sucks anyway. Not paying for it.

Will be funny to watch him burn twitter to the ground, lose a shite ton of money, and still have people say how much of a genius troll he was for doing it

Twitter traffic sinks in wake of changes and launch of rival platform Threads
quote:
Twitter’s website traffic is “tanking” according to the chief of internet services company Cloudflare, amid signs users are migrating to alternative platforms such as Threads, BlueSky and Mastodon.
On Sunday, Matthew Prince posted a graph from Cloudflare’s ranking of the most popular websites in the world showing Twitter has been in decline since the start of 2023, not long after Elon Musk took over the platform.
The graph shows a significant drop in Cloudflare’s domain server ranking for Twitter in mid-2023 coincided with unpopular changes Musk made to the site, and the launch of the Meta-owned rival platform Threads.

What other companies has he run into the ground?

You realize that Twitter went down for like a week when threads came out then no one used threads at all a month later. Right?

Weird, because I don’t see a drop in Twitter links on this site or references to Twitter posts in traditional media either.

This is a good idea and it’s really the Russian troll farms who’ll complain.

Never had it, never will.
