- Elon Musk’s social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, rolled out two new subscription plans on Friday, including a Premium+ tier for users willing to pay for an ad-free experience.

The Premium+ plan, priced at about US$16 (S$21.93) a month, includes all tools and features offered by the platform, minus ads, the company said in a post on the platform.

It will be available to users accessing the platform through a web browser for now, it added.

The basic tier is priced at US$3 a month but is not ad free.

X is also planning to bundle video and audio calling for some users, in a push to turn the platform into an everything app.
