Elon Musk has indicated that X, formerly known as Twitter, is preparing to charge all users for accessing the platform.

The X owner said erecting a paywall around the business would ward off the bots, or automated accounts, that have become a bugbear for Musk.

Speaking in a meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, the Tesla CEO and world’s richest person suggested that X was going to charge its user base. Currently, Twitter only charges users for its subscription service X Premium, which offers perks such as a verified account checkmark and costs $11 a month in the US for iPhones and £11 in the UK.

    I am a hundred percent certain you could seriously damage twitter by seeing of the sprinklers(assuming they ate still installed) because there’s no way musk’s penny pinching didn’t lead him to sell or not set up the special non conductive fire retardant

      You’re assuming the sprinklers are hooked to anything in the first place.

      But really, that would have been handled long before he bought Twitter

        That’s why I was talking about him selling it off but he did migrate some servers so I doubt they have any fancy fire setup
