Billionaire Elon Musk, a Dogecoin supporter, is taking steps to eliminate bots from the X platform (formerly Twitter) after acquiring it for $54 billion. Despite multiple measures already in place, the bot problem on the platform persists. Musk’s latest strategy involves putting the entire X site behind a paywall. By requiring all accounts to pay a fee to access the platform, Musk hopes to increase the cost of operations for bot creators and reduce bot activity.
Musk explained that X would introduce a lower tier of pricing, with each account paying a small fee just to access the platform. This fee would be separate from the existing fee for X Blue, the premium service. Musk believes that making each account pay a few dollars to access the platform would significantly increase the operating cost for bot creators, who currently deploy bots for mere fractions of a penny. He expressed frustration with the bot issues, stating that this paywall strategy is the only way he can think of to combat the problem.
It remains to be seen if Dogecoin payments will be implemented on X. While Musk has been a strong supporter of the meme coin and has implemented many of his ideas for the platform, there has been no indication of Dogecoin payments coming to X. However, considering that Dogecoin excels in micro-transactions, it could be a viable option if X becomes a pay-to-play service.
