Elon Musk's X social network will start charging for user registration. This is reported by Fortune. Registration for X is still free, but according to media reports, this may change in the coming months. The social network intends to charge $8 for each new user. A user who does not pay for registration will not be able to post or comment on others' posts.
It will be available in read-only mode. As a paid sign-up bonus, users will be given a monthly X Premium subscription that removes ads and extends the capabilities of the built-in Grok neural network. to fight against accounts and bots.
The innovation has been tested since 2023 in New Zealand and the Philippines, where users will have to pay $1 per year starting with registration, otherwise the social network will be available in read-only mode.
