Elon Musk Confirms New Twitter Will Charge Fee to Post to Combat Bots

Elon Musk has confirmed that Twitter, now rebranded as X, will charge new users a "small fee" to post, like, bookmark, or reply.

The fee is intended to combat bot accounts and fake users on the platform.

Musk said the increasing sophistication of AI that can bypass spam checks necessitated the fee.

The fee amount and implementation date are still unknown.

Existing Twitter users will likely not be impacted by the new fee structure.
