New Delhi. Elon Musk has made a big announcement regarding social media platform X. This announcement by Musk is like a shock for the users. Actually Musk said that any kind of post on X will not be done for free, money will have to be spent for this. However, there is some relief in this for those who already have an account on X because the provision of spending money for posts will be applicable only to new users.
Unfortunately, a small fee for new user write access is the only way to curb the relentless onslaught of bots.
Current AI (and farm trolls) can pass “are you a bot” with ease.

Not only this, new users will also have to shell out money for liking a post, replying to a post and bookmarking a post. Musk has said that this will be a very nominal fee but how much it will be has not been disclosed at the moment. Elon Musk believes that the purpose behind imposing fees for making a new post, liking a post, replying to a post and bookmarking a post is to reduce the posts from bots and fake accounts.
According to Musk, at present anyone is creating a new account and posting anything in favor or against anyone. Musk believes that this is the only way to stop the bot at the moment. Let us tell you that Elon Musk has been continuously making changes ever since he acquired Twitter. First of all they changed its name from Twitter to X. After this the logo also changed. Then launched X’s paid services and fixed the fee for Blue Tick. Earlier Blue Tick was available for free although there were some conditions for it like certain number of followers etc. but now anyone can get Blue Tick in their account by spending money.
