If it's something reasonable like a buck then I'm all for it.
Sure a buck isn't shit to Soros types...... BUT if X can flag and block accounts linked to the same bank account then that becomes a HUGE roadblock to creating bot accounts. It's a lot more work to create a bank account or attach a different card to each new fake account.
Even on this board, new anons have to reach certain score to be able to post (not sure if its still valid). It weeds out bots, shills and doomers to some extent.
Obviously you're using the word "free" in a different context in the title here, not the way Elon advertises it.
"Free speech" as in you'll be banned if you tell a politician to kill himself. As in you'll be banned if you advocate for the rightful punishment for treason
That's what he means. But your title might have suggested other way, even though you didn't mean it - "will now have to pay on the free speech platform"
Uhhh, that’s not going to stop Soros and WEF Bots Elon! They’re already is fine with buying/paying for propaganda pushers and shills where ever they are needed. A paywall only makes people move or talk elsewhere.
Of course I don’t have Twatter anyway. So I can care less with engaging the FOS “important” pontificators on there.
The cost to purchase Twitter/X was enormous. The cost to run it could bankrupt even Elon if it doesn't generate enough to run the massive operation. Especially after our Free-Speech Champion Elon lost major advertisers and their $$$ when he wouldn't capitulate to their woke demands to censor conservative voices and truth about the vax and other very important things. So, why are we being so opposed to pitching in a little to shore up his bottom line?
And, if it culls out some of the bots, I am in favor. Have you seen the overseas operations where the entire room is full of working cellphones that are mounted to rows and rows of vertical panels that are sending and posting automated comments and propaganda 24/7? Thousands of them all at the same time. It is a major operation. These need to be stopped.
He's unbanned a lot of people. He has a lot to do and a lot on his mind.
He's running Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter/X, has 10 children and 3 ex-wives, and unless he's cloned himself, I'm surprised he gets accomplished all the things he does.
What a load of crap. If he claimed to be a "free speech" advocate, it would be his top priority to unsuspend not just the big-named conservatives, but everyone who was wrongfully suspended. He hand picked and chose who to unban. How is it a free market of ideas when "free speech" is curated by selective privilege?
If Elon is able to buy Twitter, he's able to allocate the manpower to prioritize free speech, and it goes to show that isn't the case. His system is ran by bots and there's no manual oversight.
Elon is a hypocrite, and time and time again he's exposed himself as much.
Let's also not forget, Mike Rothschild was allowed to literally post a hit job on a Trump staffer and he still has his account.
I have mixed feelings about this. Clearly, Elon is entering the phase 2 of Bot-wipe as we head closer to the precipice .. I mean elections.

Glad some people here still take the time to think things through before reacting.
Strategic reasoning and game theory isn't most people's strong suit.
It seems to be my flavor of 'tism.
linking your identity to your social media is so Nikki Haley. There are better ways to stop bots, such as advanced CAPTCHA type of puzzles.
With FISA still in play they have alot more than your identity already.
doesn't mean it's right, and also doesn't mean we should codify it! Must fight back hard!
edit- I see you are a fan of linking your identity to your social media. Insane!

Push everyone to Truth. Sounds good to me.

What happens when all these small fees being paid come out of the same bank accounts?
This is an excellent way to weed out bots.
Xitter is the most important social media for patriots in many Countries, like Brazil. If it is cancelled, the Brazillian right is lost, homeles...
We are still awaiting the bot count from the purge.

If Elon actually followed through with his promise to unban those who were wrongfully banned I'd agree with you. But he's a lying hypocrite.
He's unbanned a lot of people. He has a lot to do and a lot on his mind.
He's running Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter/X, has 10 children and 3 ex-wives, and unless he's cloned himself, I'm surprised he gets accomplished all the things he does.
Tell me, could you do all of that? I could not.
