Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Fat Cat, for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, September 19 (Xinhua)-- Tesla CEO and Elon Musk, the owner of social platform X (formerly Twitter), expressed the idea of charging all X users subscription fees during a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, local time.

▲ Bloomberg reporter Dave Li (Dave Lee) believes that social platform X (formerly Twitter) should charge users a small fee every month to crack down on robots and spam on the platform. It is not clear whether the comment was a real intention or an impromptu speech.

Some foreign media believe that Musk may launch an entry-level X Premium (formerly Twitter Blue) subscription service to achieve this goal, while the current subscription plan for X is $8 per month (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 58 yuan).

Currently, the $8 premium subscription service allows users to edit posts and create long texts that are more than 280 characters long. In addition, subscribers can see a validation tag next to their name.

Only about 94000 users signed up for X Premium between July 1 and August 10, and X has added about 16000 net new users a week over the past month and a half, according to third-party researcher Travis Brown. According to the data, at least 827615 users have subscribed to X Premium.

Musk previously posted that the X platform has 540 million monthly users. On a pro rata basis, only 0.15% of the total subscribers subscribe to X Premium.

Roberto Blake, a YouTube creator with 87, 000 followers, said he made $307.891725 from X content last month.

It is worth mentioning that more than 37% of X Premium subscribers have fewer than 500 followers, which is not eligible for the revenue-sharing program.
