The tycoon announced another controversial measure that will probably end up costing him even more money than the old social network would give him.
Elon Musk is a peculiar guy, put it in some way. The eccentric tycoon, whose controversies were a cesspool of money for X (former Twitter) at the end of last year, continues to make questionable decisions that continue to place the platform, despite everything, in the eye of the hurricane.
That Twitter survived its first year with him at the helm is nothing short of a miracle.
What are the reasons for this possible change in X
According to the specialized site TechCrunch, as Twitter Blue is not working as well as it should (or maybe the man has liquidity problems), Musk is considering charge new users for posting to X. And pay attention to the argument he uses.
One of the main reasons that Musk’s company argues is that this is the only way to combat the huge wave of bots. Musk says it very clearly in a post, in which he responds to the X Daily News account that charging a “small sum” to new users to access the publication is “the only way” to end this problem, due to that current AIs and troll farms can pass CAPTCHAs with ease.

Social networks
As usual, the old Twitter has not given details about when this policy will go into effect, and how much new users will have to pay to post.
In New Zealand and the Philippines, new users of the platform have to pay one dollar a year to be able to publish and interact on X, so it is possible that the measure will be carried out to the rest of the territories in a similar way.
