 <p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Elon Musk" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/elon-musk.html">Elon Musk</a> has confirmed that his social media platform, X (formerly known as <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Twitter" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/twitter.html">Twitter</a>), will not charge a subscription fee from users. Musk responded to a post by CommunityNotes that pointed out that he said they would introduce “lower tier pricing” for premium members and did not push for a subscription-based model. Musk replied, “ComunityNotes scores again,” confirming that the rumors were baseless. </p>

 <p>Reports about Musk potentially introducing a subscription fee for X users to tackle its “bot” problem made rounds after his discussion with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Moreover, Musk’s previous comments about a potential fee to counter X’s bot problem further fueled the rumors. </p>

 <p>Many users were worried about being charged a fee for X’s services. However, these worries can now be put to rest. Nonetheless, the platform still needs to address the issue of bots running rampant on the site. </p>

 <p>X’s bot problem has been ongoing since before <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Elon Musk" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/elon-musk.html">Elon Musk</a> took over the company. Musk introduced a blue tick verification fee for users, which was controversial at first. Although this aimed to increase verified users, it did little to counter the problem of bots. </p>

 <p>Moreover, the idea of a subscription-based model was teased by Musk on multiple occasions to counter its problem with bots. With the “fee” now out of the question, it is unclear how X will deal with its bot problem. The platform could introduce other forms of verification which could help reduce the number of bots. There have been reports about Musk introducing a payment for each bot that is created. However, the company has not made any official statements in regards to this development. </p>
