Elon Musk Teases 2 Subscription Tiers for X Premium

Elon Musk has said that he will “look into” why Xbox and PlayStation are no longer offering players the option to share content to X, formerly known as Twitter.

Social media researchers have canceled, suspended or changed more than 100 studies about X, formerly Twitter, as a result of actions taken by Elon Musk that limit access to the social media platform, nearly a dozen interviews and a survey of planned projects show.

Elon Musk's venture into the realm of artificial intelligence has taken a curious turn with the recent unveiling of his latest AI creation, Grok chatbot. While the name may raise eyebrows, it's not entirely unexpected given Musk's penchant for unconventional names, as evinced by his children's unique names. However, there's a deeper meaning behind Grok, and it's intimately tied to Musk's enduring fascination with Mars - the Red Planet.

Billionaire Elon Musk's xAI has announced its AI model Grok. xAI has shared this announcement on the X platform saying, “Grok is an AI modeled after the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, so intended to answer almost anything and, far harder, even suggest what questions to ask! Grok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don't use it if you hate humor!"

After ChatGPT stole the AI thunder initially, followed by tools from Google, Microsoft, and others, billionaire Elon Musk, who was initially involved with OpenAI, has rolled out his own artificial intelligence "system" that is available to a limited audience only. Musk's xAI is looking to cover up all the space in the tech world and do that rapidly as it is playing catch up with the rest of the tech world. And for that, he has now unveiled xAI's Grok system. However, even though he was involved in the development of ChatGPT, there is a lot of catching up to do, especially as content creators are cracking down on these AI bots scraping their data. Musk himself has objected to other bots scraping X data.

X (formerly Twitter) is going through a transformative period. Recently, Elon Musk, the owner of the platform, revealed his plans to turn it into an ‘everything app'. The company is also releasing new features at a break-neck pace. Some of these features are also exclusive to the X Premium members, who pay a monthly subscription fee, to improve its revenue. Now, a new report has highlighted that X is also selling off old user handles to others at a massive price tag of $50000 and up. This revelation has emerged after some reports mentioned that X may actually start a marketplace where users can sell their handles to other users, and the platform takes a cut.

We recently found out about X owner Elon Musk's plans to turn the social media platform into an “everything app”, after his speech from the all-hands meeting with the employees was leaked. He talked a lot about Communities, highlighting that it is growing at a rapid pace. Perhaps to double down on that growth, X will soon get another new feature in Communities. This new feature, pinned hashtag, will allow group admins to pin certain hashtags at the top and allow users to follow a certain topic within the group.

Tesla CEO and 'X' owner, Elon Musk said on Wednesday that Artificial Intelligence (AI) could endanger the existence of human civilisation. "There is some chance, above zero, that AI will kill us all. I think it's slow but there is some chance. I think this also concerns the fragility of human civilization. If you study history, you will realise that every civilisation has a sort of lifespan," he said.

On the first day of November, global-scale development on artificial intelligence was seen. At the UK AI Summit, global leaders from 28 different countries came together and committed to evaluating AI-related dangers together.

Twitter was transformed into X earlier this year, and while the change was essentially a logo, name, and domain shift, company owner Elon Musk has much grander plans for his platform. From a simple messaging platform, in his own words, Musk wants to turn X into an ‘everything app', similar to China's WeChat, where people can do a bunch of different things outside of typical social media activities on the app itself. This can include even checking your bank account balance, applying for a job, watching a live stream, shopping for clothes, and even finding a date. Even if it sounds ridiculous, Musk is pretty serious about it and mentioned it all during the company's first all-hands employee meeting.
