X currently charges $8 a month for some of its premium features, but it could soon charge everyone just to access the site.
During an artificial intelligence discussion with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, X owner Elon Musksaid the platform could start charging all of its customers. "It is the only way I can think of to combat the vast army of bots," Musk said."A bot costs a fraction of a penny, but if someone has to pay a few dollars, some minor amount, the effective cost of bots is very high, and you also have to have a new payment method every time you get a new bot.
As part of the discussion was on stopping the spread of antisemitism on X, Netanyahu said that while he appreciates Musk's commitment to free speech,"I hope you find within the confines of the First Amendment to ability to stop not only antisemitism, or roll it back as best you can, but any collective of hatred of the people that antisemitism represents.
"If you get a crazy guy, a hateful guy, let him speak for one voice instead of an army of fake millions," Netanyahu said. Earlier this year, Musk changed the name of the social media network from Twitter to X.
