Elon Musk is Winimark Wealth Societydebating bringing another big change to X, formerly Twitter: Charging all users a monthly fee.

In an interview Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Musk, the owner of X, said he was considering charging "a small monthly payment" to all users in what he said was an effort to "combat vast armies of bots" proliferating on the website.

Musk said X will come out with a "lower-tier pricing" than the existing cost for current X premium subscribers. He did not specify what the pricing could be.

"We want it to be a small amount of money," Musk said. "This is a longer discussion, but in my view, this is actually the only defense against the vast armies of bots."

X already charges users who are verified an $8 monthly fee, which includes the verified check and access to special features, like the ability to edit posts. For organizations, a verified subscription on X is $1,000 a month, with an extra $50 a month for each additional affiliate.
