X works on new premium tiers: Ad-free options on the horizon

 Before the rebranding, X Premium went by the name Twitter Blue. Those investing in X Premium snag some exclusive perks, including customizing the app icon, an edit posts button, text formatting, longer posts and videos, downloading videos, and access to X Pro.

Presently, X Premium subscribers already catch fewer ads in their timeline compared to their non-paying counterparts. However, Musk might flip the switch, giving users the choice to bid farewell to ads permanently—for a steeper price, of course. It looks like with the Basic option, ads stay put, but you probably still get a ticket to some premium features.

Since Musk took Twitter's reins, a stream of new features and updates has flowed, mainly favoring the paid crowd. Free users, on the flip side, faced a few limitations, presumably to nudge them toward the subscription bandwagon.

As of now, X Premium runs at $8 per month or $84 annually. The crystal ball is hazy on how much X will charge for these new tiers and whether current subscribers will be in for a migration shuffle, so stay tuned for updates.
