Elon Musk has indicated that X, formerly known as Twitter, is preparing to charge all users for accessing the platform.
The X owner said erecting a paywall around the business would ward off the bots, or automated accounts, that have become a bugbear for Musk.
Speaking in a meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, the Tesla CEO and world’s richest person suggested that X was going to charge its user base. Currently, Twitter only charges users for its subscription service X Premium, which offers perks such as a verified account checkmark and costs $11 a month in the US for iPhones and £11 in the UK.
He is. He’s your average internet troll that made a few lucky decisions in the past.
And don’t call me Shirley.
By “lucky decisions” do you mean “born into wealth”?
His best decision to date, yes.
What, you didn’t pick “Born to emerald mine magnate” at the character creator? It really is the only logical choice, you know.
Didn’t wanna spend 5 hours at the char creation screen so I just clicked “randomise”.
I feel so dumb now!
Your username explained! ;-p
Edit: Odd to see an innocuous joke get downvoted. Was the wink not enough?
He was simply born rich.
