We need your ID and your bank routing number, anon.
We (((promise))) not to leak it.

Ayup. Not to mention that, just like cable tv, nutflix, and the like, the price will forever be rising. And not just to cover inflation.

Data mining.

Here's a non-paywalled article:

https://themessenger.com/tech/elon-musk-one-dollar-fee-x-twitter-new-zealand-philippines-not-a-bot

It only applies to New Zealand and the Philippines "for now." I'm guessing because Musk located a lot of bot farms there. And of course those bots can just use a VPN to skirt the fee. Thus giving an excuse for Musk to expand his fee to more and more countries, until everyone is paying.

I don't see a paywall. Not sure why some people are saying they do.

This is setting a bad precedent. It needs to fail before others adopt these polices

Ironic that you link to a magazine that wants you to sign up for a subscription to read an article about X going to a subscription.

Well, at least he's making sure no one can mislead the public with their lies on his watch. smirk Although, he may be taking the 'destroying the world' part a little too literally with how he's handling that platform.
