Elon Musk's X Tests $1 Annual Fee for New Users to Post Content

X, formerly known as Twitter, is testing a $1 annual subscription fee for new users in New Zealand and the Philippines.
The fee aims to combat bots, spam, and platform manipulation by requiring payment information.
New users must pay to access posting, liking, and other interactive features.
Users who don't pay are limited to read-only access.
Existing users are not affected, and it's unclear if the fee will expand to other regions.
