Elon Musk caused a stir on social media by announcing his intention to charge new users of TwitterX a fee of $1 per year to combat the platform’s bot problem. Musk’s proposal aims to deter bots from creating fake accounts and spreading misinformation by implementing this small fee. By taking this bold step, Musk hopes to create a more trustworthy and secure online community for users of TwitterX, ultimately improving the overall user experience on the platform.

1. I see a problem with this solution because you know the prices will get inflated over time.
2. Who’s to say these bot farm companies will not find a loophole to create fake accounts still?
3. Is there a chance you will remove yourself from social platforms if you have to pay?
