X will charge users ‘a small monthly payment’ to use its service::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
It probably won’t, but it keeps Musk in the news.
But people keep talking about it and upvoting it. Please just downvote the musk spam. This isn’t even about Twitter/x, it’s just musk rambling.

They will? Or they’re considering it?
Two very very different things.

Which search engine?

Why?

I looked into it, and I am definitely interested. Do you have the unlimited plan? Because I 100% would burn through the other plans very quickly.

A service that I have to pay for AND it harvests and sells my personal data? SIGN ME UP!
If Musk wants me to use his shitty crap site, I will be charging him a small monthly fee.
At this point i think hes just mad he had to buy twitter and is just destroying it now.
Nail. Coffin. Good riddance.
Not a single actual quote from Elon in this article. Does anyone know what he actually said? Because the title states it as a definitive while the excerpts sound more like he was just floating the idea out loud.
“It’s the only way I can think of to combat vast armies of bots,” explained Musk.
Not if they’re funded by deep pockets like with governments and corporations.
I mean specifically the bit about “X will…” as if it is a fact.
Yeah that’s true. The headline is asserting something that I don’t think Musk has actually said he will do. On the other hand, I’m having trouble thinking of any random idea Musk has had that he didn’t attempt to follow through on.
This will hurt the site so much. People will leave.
Don’t interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake
Since I left Twit-X, I’ve been feeling no sense of loss. Perhaps, a little smug in fact.
I will believe it when I see it.
Let’s not forget that more than half of its user base don’t have access to online payment. so I don’t know how they are planning on keeping them
The only way to fight bots is to charge users a fee? Gee, I wonder how all of these other sites do it. 2-factor logins, manual auth prompts, rotating passwords on suspected accounts… a real unsolvable problem for the stable tech genius, I see.

Isn’t Mastodon enough?
Hard to get interaction.
Even harder than this WireMin thing?
Its better for me, but it might not be for you?
I mean… I never even heard of it up to now, and I’m quite active on fediverse.
Me too, its just sometime fediverse still got censorship.
I’ve deleted my account way before Elon bought the company and haven’t been back since. When I was super active on Twitter which was many years ago and they said I had to pay a small fee every month I would have stopped using it right away. I don’t see the benefit of having social media and I sure as shit won’t pay for any of them. I’m in my 40’s so maybe it’s just me or my age but I can’t imagine anything on those platforms that would be worth a dollar a month.
Sounds like he’s trying to recoup lost revenue and I can’t imaging this is going to work out well for them.
“Let’s make the content creators pay to make their content for us” has been the dumbest trend in the past few years
Right now it’s an idea, but Musk’s ideas tend to become reality more often than not. I already stopped Twitter, they do this I’ll be gone for good.
