Elon Musk has announced a new update for users of his exclusive 𝕏 platform.

Starting immediately, accounts with over 2,500 verified subscriber followers will be granted access to Premium features at no additional cost.

Furthermore, those with a following exceeding 5,000 will enjoy the benefits of Premium+ ” also completely free of charge.

The announcement came directly from Elon Musks personal 𝕏 account, where he stated: 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.

Since acquiring the platform in late 2022, Musk has implemented several changes, including a paid subscription service offering benefits like ad-free browsing and extended character limits.

This decision by Elon Musk is also seen as an effort to reward the platforms most influential users, encouraging them to create more engaging content and interact more frequently with their followers.

Free access to features like longer video uploads and analytics tools could fuel the production of high-quality content, attracting a wider audience.

The Premium and Premium+ features, which include advanced analytics, exclusive access to beta features, and enhanced visibility on the platform, are designed to provide creators with the tools they need to expand their reach and influence.

This could be a game-changer for 𝕏, potentially attracting high-profile influencers from competing platforms and increasing overall user engagement.

However, it’s uncertain how follower fluctuations will affect this new policy.
