Elon Musk has indicated that X, formerly known as Twitter, is preparing to charge all users for accessing the platform.
The X owner said erecting a paywall around the business would ward off the bots, or automated accounts, that have become a bugbear for Musk.
Speaking in a meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, the Tesla CEO and world’s richest person suggested that X was going to charge its user base. Currently, Twitter only charges users for its subscription service X Premium, which offers perks such as a verified account checkmark and costs $11 a month in the US for iPhones and £11 in the UK.

Yes, they are called idiots. It's another idiot tax, like gambling.
The lottery is either a tax on stupidity or a tax on hope.
I don't know which is more depressing.
Hope because the people who really buy lottery tickets on a regular basis want that financial security, winning a lottery would provide.
