Heard they were going to charge $1 for new users if they want to tweet, retweet, etc.

Honestly not the worst idea in the world, might actually stop some of the bots. Not the malicious ones that actually make money or spread disinfo, but some.

EDIT: Apparently that's only users that sign up via the website in New Zealand and the Philippines: https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/17/...sers-elon-musk

Also..

An Australian regulator has fined Elon Musk's social media platform X A$610,500 ($386,000) for failing to cooperate with a probe into anti-child abuse practices, a blow to a company that has struggled to keep advertisers amid complaints it is going soft on moderating content.
