Elon Musk, the owner of X, formerly Twitter, has hinted that the social network may no longer be a free site.
In a live-streamed conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Musk said the company was “moving to a small monthly payment for the use of the X system.”
Musk claims the move would be necessary to deal with the problem of bots on the platform.
Musk didn’t say what the new subscription payment would cost, but described it as a “small amount of money.”
Musk didn’t expand on his plan to charge for X or when such a change would come about.
Since Musk took over the platform last year, the company has been pushing its users to subscribe to its paid subscription product, X Premium (previously Twitter Blue).
