Elon Musk announced on Thursday that users of the X platform with 2,500 or more verified subscriber followers will receive Premium features for free. Additionally, those with over 5,000 verified subscriber followers will get access to Premium+ at no cost. This move aims to reward users with significant followings on the platform.
The announcement was met with enthusiasm from many users, although some sought clarification on the criteria for verified subscribers. One user questioned whether “verified subscribers” referred to followers verified by the platform or subscribers within the context of X subscriptions.
With over 550 million monthly users on the X platform, this announcement signifies a significant development in its subscription model. Musk’s decision to offer Premium features to users with large followings aims to enhance the user experience and attract more creators to the platform.
Musk’s recent announcement follows plans to expand the capabilities of the platform’s ‘Grok’ AI chatbot to compete with similar technologies like OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Overall, this initiative reflects the platform’s commitment to rewarding and empowering its most influential creators, enhancing the user experience, and expanding its reach in the competitive landscape of social media and AI technologies.
