The CEO of Space X and Tesla, ELON MUSK recently announces a new special feature for X users formerly known as twitter. Musk bought twitter for $44 billion in October 2022.
The users who avail this premium feature are able to write longer posts with fewer advertisement including blue verification tick mark.
The premium feature costs $16/month which allows the users to utilize AI model GROK capable of answering anything. Since the changes have been implemented, a large number of users are expected to leave the platform and shift to other social media platform such as Bluesky or Meta-owned Threads. However, reports indicate that the alternative platforms experienced minimal success.
Under his supervision, several improvements could be seen, such as blue ticks and charging $8 for verified marks, sparking fears of fake news and disinformation.
