The Premium tier costs $16 monthly. Subscribers get features like posting longer videos and text. They also see fewer advertisements. The new Platinum tier costs $32 per month. Platinum members gain all Premium benefits. They also get a significant boost in how much their replies are seen. This tier offers the most visibility on the platform.
Musk stated the updates are necessary. He said X needs reliable income beyond advertising. “This supports our operations,” Musk explained. “It also improves the overall user experience.” He believes users willing to pay deserve a better, ad-light service. The tiers provide choices for different user needs and budgets.

The goal is to build a stronger business model. X continues its push towards more subscription-based revenue. The platform formerly known as Twitter has undergone major shifts since Musk’s acquisition.
