00:00 Hello and welcome to OneIndia News. I am Arushi Ranjan bringing you the latest developments on
00:06 Elon Musk's latest venture. The introduction of a new paid tier on the social media platform
00:12 X. Elon Musk, the visionary entrepreneur behind companies like SpaceX and Tesla,
00:19 is now turning his attention to social media with X. Musk's decision to implement a paid tier comes
00:26 in response to the growing threat of spam and bots on the platform. In recent announcement,
00:33 Musk highlighted the need to combat the proliferation of spam accounts, stating that
00:39 "charging new users is the most effective way to address the issue." Under the new policy,
00:45 new accounts on X will need to pay an annual fee to access basic features such as posting,
00:52 replying and liking posts. The announcement had sparked debate among users, with some expressing
00:59 concerns about accessibility and affordability. Musk defends the decision, arguing that the small
01:06 fee is necessary to maintain the quality of the platform and improve user experience.
01:12 He emphasizes the threat posed by bots and AI-driven spam accounts, which have become
01:19 increasingly sophisticated in bypassing detection measures. While the exact fee amount remains
01:26 undisclosed, X has conducted trials in select markets, charging as little as $1 for a year's
01:34 access. In addition to the new paid tier, X already offers premium subscription options,
01:40 providing users with access to advanced features such as the Grok AI chatbot. Musk's decision to
01:48 monetize basic features represents a significant shift in the social media landscape, raising
01:54 questions about the future of free access to online platforms. As X prepares to implement
02:01 these changes, the impact on user growth and engagement remains to be seen.
