Will Elon Musk really put X behind a paywall?

The move is meant to help ‘combat vast armies of bots’, Musk said, but it’s unclear if it will work.

I deactivated my Twitter account when Musk took the reins. Lots of others did the same, and reports suggest the exodus continues as he readmits pariahs and purveyors of hate.

Rebranding is always fraught with risk, and now X, the platform known as Twitter, appears willing to risk plunging into oblivion by erecting a pay wall. I can't wait...

I think my icon makes me look worried now.

Whatever.

Hey y'all, I'm silverslices now. Just so you know.

If you want to know why, ask as yourself. I'm not replying to anything publicly for now. Also, I'm avoiding people for the rest of the day because I don't like most of them today. And I'll probably be on here a lot less from here on out, but that's no guarantee.
