X is planning to start charging all new users a “small fee” in order to interact with posts, the social media site’s owner, Elon Musk, has said.

Replying to an account which had posted about the possible changes, the Tesla and Space X boss said charging new users to post, like and reply is the “only way” to stop fake or bot accounts on the platform.
