Elon Musk to Implement Posting Fee on X to Combat Bots

In a bid to reduce bot activity, Elon Musk announces a fee for new users on X, formerly Twitter, with mixed reactions from experts on its effectiveness.

Elon Musk confirmed that X, formerly Twitter, will soon charge new users a small fee to post as a measure to combat bots.
The fee, which was previously tested in New Zealand and the Philippines, aims to make it harder for bots to manipulate the platform.
Experts remain skeptical about the fee's effectiveness, arguing that determined spammers can easily bypass such measures.
The decision has sparked concerns about the impact on user engagement and the platform's accessibility.
Musk's approach has been criticized as a potential revenue driver rather than a genuine attempt to solve the bot issue.
