The last time Musk’s X crashed was about two weeks ago, leaving users unable to access their accounts, but the incident was not global.
Last week, X’s CEO teased a possible change to the platform, in which all new users would pay a “small fee” to interact with posts.
Responding to an account he had posted about the possible changes, the Tesla and SpaceX boss said that charging new users to post, like and reply is the “only way” to stop fake or bot accounts on the platform. .
The news has not been well received by many users, with one warning that such a change would “alienate millions of people from the platform.”
