X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter stopped working hours after Elon Musk(Twitter Ex CEO) said that he is planning to ask everyone to pay for access to the platform.
Users faced problems in loading tweets and their timelines. While few sections of X continued to load, for some people.
Mr Musk said to the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu that the subscription fee was necessary to avoid “vast armies of bots” that he claimed have taken over the service.
“We’re actually going to come up with a lower tier pricing… we just want it to be a small amount of money,” he said.
“This is a longer discussion, but, in my view, this is actually the only defence against vast armies of bots.”
