The greater the spy, the bigger the lie. That’s the tagline for Matthew Vaughn’s “Argylle,” a razor-witted, reality-bending, globe-encircling spy thriller.

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Elon Musk earlier this month said X/Twitter is “moving to having a small monthly payment for use of the X system” — a step that is necessary, he said, to thwart the plague of bots flooding the platform. Is the company in fact going to implement such a fee? Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of the Musk-owned social network, dodged the question when it was posed to her on stage at Vox Media’s Code 2023 conference Wednesday by interviewer Julia Boorstin, CNBC senior media and tech correspondent.

Linda Yaccarino spoke glowingly of Elon Musk, said X will turn a profit in early 2024, and insisted the platform formerly known as Twitter has made major progress in reversing lagging metrics in her 100 days as CEO.

An online rumor recently made the rounds saying filmmaker Matthew Vaughn was next in line to take over the James Bond franchise, and it’s fitting but almost laughable. Because Vaughn, who actively sought the James Bond gig early in his directing life, has basically made an entire career of doing his own spy franchises, almost snubbing his nose at Bond in the process.

“We will be watching what you do,” Elon Musk has been warned by the European Commissoner after X (formerly Twitter) was found to have the highest ratio of disinformation posts of all large social media platforms.

The comedian, TV host and wellness guru has denied all allegations.Now, Culture, Media and Sport Committee chairwoman Dame Caroline Dinenage has written to several video hosting sites and social media outlets to ask whether Brand can make “profit from his content” on its platforms [via Evening Standard].On Tuesday (September 19) YouTube announced that it had “suspended monetisation” on Brand’s channel due to “violating” its “creator responsibility policy”.

X, formerly known as Twitter, users might have to start paying to use the social media site.

Are you ready to fork down a few dollars a month to post on social media?

Elon Musk has said that X, formerly known as Twitter, will likely start charging its users.The X owner, who is also the founder/CEO of SpaceX and CEO of Tesla, said in a new meeting that the social media platform is considering enacting a paywall.Although unconfirmed, Musk told Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a meeting this week that a subscription would probably cost “a few dollars” a month for users [via The Guardian].Currently, X charges users for its subscription service X Premium that offers advantages such as a verified account checkmark. It costs $11 (£8.87) per month in the US for iPhones and £11 per month in the UK.Musk explained that a paywall would help the business keep bots at bay and generate money lost by “60 per cent” drop in advertising revenue on the platform.“We’re moving to having a small monthly payment for use of the system,” Musk told Netanyahu, whom he’d met to discuss technology and artificial intelligence.Musk added that bots cost “a fraction of a penny” to set up and then charging users “a few dollars or something” could deter operators of the software.

Elon Musk said that X, formerly known as Twitter, is moving to a “small monthly payment system” because “it’s the only way I can think of to combat vast armies of bots.”
