Elon Musk Floats Plan To Charge “Small Monthly” Payment For Anyone To Use X, Formerly Known As Twitter​

Elon Musk said that X, formerly known as Twitter, is moving to a “small monthly payment system” because “it’s the only way I can think of to combat vast armies of bots.”

In a discussion Monday with Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Musk suggested that it would be a lower-tier pricing structure than its $8-per-month Twitter Blue, its premium subscription service.

“We’re wanting it to be just a small amount of money,” Musk said. “It’s a longer discussion, but in my view this is the only defense against vast armies of bots, because as AI gets very, very good, it’s actually able to pass these sort of CAPTCHA tests better than humans.”

Musk has long complained about X/Twitter’s battle against bots, but he’s also reportedly considered putting the social media platform behind a paywall since shortly after he purchased it last year.

His statements also come as the company grapples with a loss of ad revenue. Musk wrote in July that the company had seen a nearly 50% drop in ad revenue plus a heavy debt load.

Netanyahu, meanwhile, urged Musk to try to roll back antisemitism on his platform. “It doesn’t stop you from coming out as you have in every possible forum and condemn antisemitism,” he said.

Maybe Elon is following the Unity Plan.

Basic Tier* = $0.20 cent to view tweet
Standard Tier* = $0.15 cent to view tweet after viewing 1000 tweets
Premium Tier* = $0.10 cent to view tweet after viewing 10000 tweets.
X Tier* = $0.01 cent to view tweet after viewing 100000 tweets
*yes, you will be charged multiple times if you view the same tweet again.

Just wondering but is anyone planning to continue using Twitter if it goes fully behind a paywall.

Chinese-Americans should always remember their past. Before the Jewish Question in Nazi Germany, there was the Chinese Question in "democratic" America, "the shining beacon for freedom and human rights on a hilltop".

While Chinese-Americans should remember Chinese immigrants' history in the US, here is a cautionary tale for the Chinese in China - it's the reason why the current US regime hates and fears China in a nutshell.

Today is September 18th, the 92nd anniversary of Japan's invasion of China's Manchuria in 1931.

On 15 Feb 1942, the battle of Singapore ended with British imperialist forces surrendering to Japanese imperialist forces. The Japanese ruled Singapore brutally, as they did everywhere they occupied, until their defeat in 1945.

In today's Singapore, 15 Feb is marked as Total Defense Day. There is a remembrance ceremony at the Civilian War Memorial, which is built atop a burial chamber containing the remains of victims of Japanese atrocities exhumed from mass graves across the island. At 6.20pm, the time of formal British surrender, air raid sirens sound throughout the country.

Never Forget.
