Also the founder, CEO, and lead designer of SpaceX, Musk declared on Thursday that accounts boasting 2,500 verified subscribers will now unlock premium features at no cost, while those surpassing the 5,000 mark will soar even higher with Premium+.

The billionaire, who acquired X (formerly Twitter) in 2022, revealed this via his X handle, igniting a wave of anticipation and applause.

X Premium subscription offers account owners a host of perks, including minimized advertisements, eligibility for revenue sharing, and additional features.

Meanwhile, the X Premium+ subscription takes it up a notch with exclusive benefits like an ad-free experience and priority reply privileges.

Musk had earlier confirmed on Wednesday amid the growing rivalry with OpenAI that the Grok AI chatbot, which was only accessible for X Premium+ users before now, will now be accessible to all Premium users soon.
