Musk’s
X’s CEO last week teased a possible change to the platform, which would see all new users pay a “small fee” to respond to posts.
In response to an account that posted about the possible changes, the Tesla and SpaceX boss said charging new users to post, like and comment is the “only way” to prevent fake or bot accounts on to stop the platform.
The news has not gone down well with many users, with one warning that such a change would “drive millions of people away from the platform.”
