Elon Musk plans to introduce a fee for new users on social media platform X to deter spam bots.

The 'Not-A-Bot' program requires a $1 fee for access to key social features, with a free trial period option.

Critics have voiced concerns, but Musk is focused on eliminating bot activity on the platform.

The policy signals a shift towards monetizing user interactions on social media.

Platform X is exploring Dogecoin payments after securing money transmitter licenses and already accepts Bitcoin for tipping.

Existing AI bot detection methods are failing, prompting the shift to a possible pay-to-play model.
