Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X (formerly known as Twitter), says he is considering implementing “a small fee for new user[s]” to tackle the issue of automatised accounts, or “bots”. Posting on the social media platform, he added that “current AI (and troll farms) can pass ‘are you a bot’ with ease”. No details regarding how much the fee would be or its implementation date have been disclosed but Musk said that the measure would last three months in another post on X. It will still be possible to access the social media without paying; however, new users would be prevented from creating ...

Complimentary blue ticks are back for some users of X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, the latest unexpected shift set to cause a lot of confusion on the Elon Musk-owned social media platform. For years, Twitter’s blue checks mirrored verification badges that are common on social media, largely reserved for celebrities, politicians, and other influential accounts. That changed months after Musk bought the platform for $44 billion (€40.6 billion) in October 2022. Sorry Elon, Grok is not open source AI. Here’s why, according to the creator of the definition Last year, X began issuing ver...

A judge has ordered Elon Musk to testify for a third time as part of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) investigation into his $44 billion (€40.8 million) purchase of Twitter, now called X, in 2022. Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler issued an order on Saturday giving Musk, his team and the SEC a week to agree on a date and location for Musk’s testimony. In a court hearing last December, Beeler said she would issue an order if the two sides couldn't agree on when and where the Tesla and SpaceX CEO would testify. “The parties, at least initially, agreed to a date but ultimately the resp...

Bluesky, a Twitter-like social network championed by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, has emerged from its cocoon and now allows anyone to create an account and join the service. Until Tuesday, anyone hoping to join Bluesky needed an invitation, which typically meant hunting down an existing member and begging for an invite. That invite-only period gave the site time to build out moderation tools and other features, Bluesky said. Bluesky resembles Twitter - now known as X after Tesla billionaire Elon Musk paid $44 billion for the company - in many respects, although it doesn’t yet offer direct ...
