Elon Musk Announced Free Premium Subscription for Select X Users

Elon Musk recently made an announcement regarding X, the platform previously known as Twitter. In his announcement, Musk stated that Premium and Premium+ subscription features would now be available to eligible users at no cost. Specifically, he mentioned that accounts with over 2,500 verified subscriber followers will receive Premium features for free, while those with over 5,000 verified subscribers will have access to Premium+ features without charge.

Here's the breakdown in simpler terms:

• If you have more than 2,500 verified subscribers following your account, you'll get Premium features for free.

• And if you have over 5,000 verified subscribers, you'll get Premium+ features for free.

• These features include things like ad-free browsing, the ability to edit tweets, and even access to GrokAI, a cool chatbot created by Elon Musk.

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

As for what you get with X Premium and Premium+ subscriptions:

• You can edit your posts within an hour of posting them.

• You can make longer posts, up to 25,000 characters.

• Premium+ users can even monetize their content by offering subscription-based access to their posts.
  

To clarify, these features are not automatically granted to profiles with over 2,500 followers; rather, they require a base of verified users who have paid for Basic, Premium, or Premium+ subscriptions. It looks like this decision is aimed at helping X company increase the number of people who pay to use their service. They may be facing difficulties getting enough people to use their service, so this move is an attempt to address that.

The Premium features include an ad-free experience, the ability to edit tweets, and more. Premium+ subscribers additionally gain access to GrokAI, a chatbot developed by Elon Musk styled after The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which aims to provide humorous and rebellious responses to user queries. The company announced that they're sharing the inner workings of their massive Grok-1 model, which has a whopping 314 billion parameters. This means they're making the details of how their AI works available to the public. Last year, xAI made Grok available in India and 46 other countries, such as Australia, Canada, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Singapore. They also rolled out a beta version of Grok AI for Premium+ subscribers in the US. In other words, they're committed to expanding their AI chatbot's reach.

Elon Musk is taking steps to make X more popular and profitable, as it competes with other social media platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. Premium subscribers can enjoy extra features like editing posts, posting longer content, and uploading longer videos. On the other hand, Premium+ users can make money by sharing their content and receiving a portion of the revenue generated.
