The presence of 'bots' on the social network X (former Twitter) is an issue raised by several users of the platform and, according to Elon Musk, the company intends to evaluate a solution.
Unfortunately, a small fee for new user write access is the only way to curb the relentless onslaught of bots.
Current AI (and troll farms) can pass “are you a bot” with ease.

The owner of X mentioned in a post in response to another user that the company plans to charge a small fee to new users so they can post on the social network. If they decide not to pay this fee, they will only be able to start publishing after three months of the account in question.
That is way harder than paying a tiny fee.
This is only for new users. They will be able to do write actions for free after 3 months.

BUT: Can you now have a Premium account on X (formerly Twitter)? know how
It is not known when (or if) this measure by Elon Musk for the social network will be implemented or how much this fee will cost, but, in any case, this is not the first time that the entrepreneur has circulated the idea of getting users to also have to pay for the free version of X.
