Elon Musk seemed to confirm rumors that X, formerly Twitter, would make new users pay to post. He says such a move would be meant to thwart bot accounts.

Most notably, users can now pay for blue checkmark verification, which had been granted free by Twitter staff to celebrities, journalists, and other public figures after confirming their verified identities. The account X Daily News shared evidence that X might charge users before they can reply, like, or bookmark a post, a policy that was previously only active in New Zealand and the Philippines.
