The CEO of X (formerly known as Twitter), Elon Musk, has announced that all accounts with 2500 verified subscriber followers will get Premium features for free.
Musk, a billionaire who purchased X in October 2022, also said that accounts with over 5000 will get Premium+ for free.
He made this known in a post on his X handle on Thursday.
“Going forward, all X accounts with over 2500 verified subscriber followers will get Premium features for free and accounts with over 5000 will get Premium+ for free,” Musk said.
DAILY POST reports that the X Premium subscription gives account owners access to a number of features such as reduced ads, access to apply for revenue sharing and more.
While the X Premium+ subscription comes with some additional benefits such as no ads and reply prioritisation.
Musk had confirmed on Wednesday amid the growing rivalry with OpenAI that the Grok AI chatbot which was only accessible for X Premium+ users before now will now be accessible to all Premium users soon.
The billionaire has focused his efforts on getting users to pay a nominal subscription amount in order to bolster the social media giant’s revenue.
