MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
X owner Elon Musk today floated the idea that the social network formerly known as Twitter may no longer be a free site.
In a live-streamed conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, Musk said the company was “moving to a small monthly payment” for the use of the X system.
But 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).
X doesn’t disclose how many paid subscribers it has, but independent research indicates X Premium hasn’t attracted a majority of X users.
Platformer last year reported that Musk was weighing the idea of putting all of Twitter behind a paywall, in fact.
The larger conversation between Musk and Netanyahu today focused on AI technology and its regulation, though the topic of hate speech on X came up.
