Whilst this could be an interesting experiment, I can't help but feel like it would just cause even more mayhem than usual on X.....thoughts?

It’s not clear as yet whether all users will be charged a fee, or just those in selected regions to begin with. But it’s another step towards charging everybody to use the platform, which is another concept that Musk has floated in the past.
