In a recent announcement, Elon Musk, the owner of the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), has revealed exciting news for users. X is set to launch two New X Premium Subscriptions tiers, offering users more choices to enhance their social media experience.
The first subscription tier is designed to cater to users looking for an affordable way to access all of X’s premium features while maintaining the same level of ads as in the free version. This budget-friendly option ensures that users can enjoy enhanced features without breaking the bank.
For those who value an ad-free browsing and social interaction experience, Musk also announced the second premium offering. While this tier comes at a higher cost, it guarantees a completely ad-free environment, allowing users to enjoy X without interruptions.
Musk shared the news on social media, stating, “Two new tiers of X Premium subscriptions launching soon – one is lower cost with all features, but no reduction in ads, and the other is more expensive but has no ads.”
While Musk did not provide detailed information about the subscription plans, users are eagerly awaiting the official launch to explore the benefits and pricing of these new subscription options.
Since Elon Musk took over the platform in October 2022 and rebranded Twitter as X, he has implemented several significant changes. These changes include mass layoffs, the dissolution of content moderation teams, and various strategies to attract users and advertisers.
Previously, Musk introduced the blue check subscription service, priced at $8 per month, and offered discounts to advertisers to promote X. The platform has been evolving rapidly under Musk’s leadership, and the introduction of these new premium subscriptions is another step in the platform’s transformation.
In addition to the premium subscriptions, X recently initiated a test in New Zealand and the Philippines. New users in these regions are charged $1 to access the platform, and those who opt not to subscribe are limited to “read-only” actions, such as reading posts, watching videos, and following accounts. This initiative, known as the “Not A Bot” subscription method, aims to combat spam, reduce platform manipulation, and minimize bot activity.
As X continues to evolve and offer new features and subscription options, users can anticipate a more tailored and enriched social media experience. Stay tuned for further updates on these exciting developments in the world of X.
