Elon Musk, the owner and former CEO of ‘X’ (previously known as Twitter), said on Friday that X Premium (AKA Twitter Blue) will henceforth be free for accounts with more than 5 million views. However, he stressed that only views from confirmed accounts count, because otherwise, scammers will use bots to spam views indefinitely.
Elon Musk responded by adding to X support’s latest update, which stated that more users can now be paid to post on the social networking platform.
This essentially means that X Premium (fka Twitter Blue) is free for accounts that generate above 5M views.
Note, only views from verified handles count, as scammers will otherwise use bots to spam views to infinity. https://t.co/87MqqyUu2E

Within the last three months, X support has reduced the eligibility requirement for ad revenue sharing from 15M to 5M impressions. They’ve also reduced the minimum payout from $50 to $10.
To earn money on X, subscribers have to:
- Subscribe to either X Premium or Verification for Organisations.
- Garner a minimum of 5 million post impressions in the last three months.
- Maintain a follower count of at least 500 in X.
The new development follows an August 5 update in which the X support team announced that the amount of people joining up for ad revenue sharing had exceeded their expectations and that they were examining everything for the next distribution to pay all eligible accounts as quickly as possible.
The number of people signing up for ads revenue sharing has exceeded our expectations. We need a bit more time to review everything for the next payout and aim to get all eligible accounts paid as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience!https://t.co/5n4lo5H2yf
