NEW YORK, 30th March. Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Friday said that X users who have 2,500 verified subscriber followers will get Premium features for free, in a statement issued by the company.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Musk mentioned that those with over 5,000 verified subscriber followers will get Premium+ for free.

He posted on X “Going forward, all X accounts with over 2,500 verified subscriber followers will get Premium features for free and accounts with over 5000 will get Premium+ for free,”.

The announcement was welcomed by his followers, with some users asking for clarification.

“This is indeed excellent news. However, I would like to seek clarification: Are you referring to verified followers, or are you discussing subscribers within the context of X subscriptions? If it’s the second option, it seems like I only need 4,796 more subscribers,” one follower commented.

Another posted that one may have 100,000 followers but if “subscribers among them is less than 2,500, you don’t get your premium for free.”

There are over 550 million monthly users on X platform.

Musk said that X platform will soon allow its ‘Grok’ AI chatbot to more paying subscribers in a bid to take on OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
