Elon Musk already announced that AI chatbot Grok would be available for Premium as well as Premium+ members later this week, and now he's making more tweaks to X's paid tiers.
Or, more specifically, he's allowing some X users the same benefits as those that are paying.
"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," posted Musk on Wednesday.
Musk appears to be talking about accounts who have a certain number of paid subscribers, which is a feature that enables users to access "bonus content" from creators they follow on X. Subscriptions cost a set amount each month (subscribing to Musk's account will set you back $3.96 per month, for instance), with the creators picking the price point. It's basically X's attempt to compete with Patreon.
The problem? Even X's biggest accounts don't really have that many subscriptions. Musk himself, who has almost 179 million followers, only has a measly 149 subscribers at the time of writing.
It's possible, of course, that Musk isn't actually referring to subscriptions, and simply means verified followers. Mashable reached out to X but received the usual "busy now, please check back later" automated response.

ReplyDeleteWonderful news!
ReplyDeleteAnother great move by X👏🏻👏🏻
ReplyDeleteThis is huge
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!!
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean we can get our Dev API back so we can keep pushing independent developers?
ReplyDelete❤️❤️❤️
DeleteOh gosh please, it's horrible for devs now. All visibility is dead
DeleteSmart move! premium + is absolutely worth it
ReplyDeletePretty sure he means verified paying followers. Not paying subscribers.
ReplyDeleteI’m hoping that the subscriber allowance system is getting fixed? I’ve been waiting for over a year and do contribute heavily to X platform
ReplyDeleteWow, that’s really awesome! I hope it encourages people to use X as the town square and produce quality content.
ReplyDeleteNice. Will we able to pull the data to see if we qualify or how close we are?
ReplyDeleteWhat does “verified subscriber followers” mean?
ReplyDeleteAnd does this have to do with the subscriptions feature i applied for over a year ago but am still pending approval for?
Half of the blue checks are AI now. Shame.
DeleteBro I literally just paid my annual fee 💀💀💀
ReplyDeleteHe based this decision on the white one.
DeleteLost sats lol
Deletedonation to free speech
DeleteAwesome but 🤔
ReplyDeleteI need more subscribers but this is cool none the less!
ReplyDeleteExcept for Ken Griffin's
ReplyDeleteThis man is playing with some very hot fire 🔥
DeleteWe love X
ReplyDeleteElon is based.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a huge move!
ReplyDeleteamazing 👍🏻
ReplyDeleteCool!
ReplyDeleteYESSSSSSSS
ReplyDelete🦾
ReplyDeleteThis requires a bit of clarification. What exactly is a "verified subscriber"? Is that just someone with a Blue Checkmark?
ReplyDeleteI believe it only counts if the verified follower is subscribed to X.
DeleteNote: Doesn’t have to have visible blue check as that is an open to be shown or not
🤔
ReplyDeleteOk, work on that 🤷🏽♂️😂
ReplyDeleteThat’s kind of hard for smaller, shadow banned accounts.
ReplyDeleteThere goes the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteTop
ReplyDeleteOk. So is this subscribers or followers?
ReplyDeleteDo you have that many? Personally I'd think it'd be a nightmare to have that many followers. I don't even know how many I have but I doubt it's more than a couple of dozen, if that. I've never cared about followers. I'm glad I don't because I doubt I have any. Lol
DeleteAh, more free stuff for people who don't really need free stuff...
ReplyDeleteI’ll read through to understand what this means better as I’m a little confused in regards to the different levels. And what if you are already paying for a year’s subscription at a time? Stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna need all the verified people to follow Me. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteCool can i have a million dollars for free?
ReplyDeleteNext level growth and retention strategy 👏🏼
ReplyDeleteOh well.....probably not going to make it
ReplyDeletenoice move :)
ReplyDeleteGreat news
ReplyDeletewow
ReplyDeleteDamn but I paid for the year already? Will I get refunded?
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome. I almost leave x. Now I feel like coming back
ReplyDeleteSubscriber followers? What is that
ReplyDeleteMust be an impossibility.
ReplyDeleteLFG!!
ReplyDeleteW X!
