X To Launch Two Tiers Of Premium Subscription: Elon Musk

Elon Musk confirmed that X (formerly known as Twitter) would launch “two new X subscription tiers.” More recently, the microblogging platform considered offering a “Not A Bot” subscription for $1 per year. However, this subscription did not include any additional features. Instead, it’s a base charge for using the platform’s interactive features, like commenting on tweets, reposting them, etc. Now, Musk has announced plans to launch two new X Premium subscriptions.

X to get a lower cost subscription with ads

Elon Musk wrote in his tweet that he plans to launch two new tiers of X Premium subscriptions. The cheapest tier will offer full functionality. However, this will not reduce the number of ads users have to see.

The other level would, however, be more expensive. It will include all the basic features, and what’s more, it won’t display any ads. This is a new attempt to increase the platform’s revenue by charging regular users.

Although the billionaire did not mention the details of the lower and higher subscriptions, X recently tested a $1 subscription plan in the Philippines and New Zealand just to access the platform. Musk believes this will help reduce the number of bot accounts on X.

Once this subscription launches globally, those who opt out will only be able to read others’ tweets and watch videos on the app, which in theory should help reduce bot activity on X. However, the cost of the higher tier subscription remains unknown.
