Users started posting comments confirming that many of them have subscribed already, some thanking Musk for purchasing X/Twitter and supporting free speech around the globe.

Some, though, pointed out that X continues to ban some of its users for expressing their thoughts, but without giving any specific examples.

The @XRPcryptowolf X account owner asked Musk when it will be possible to pay for X Premium using the Ripple-affiliated XRP coin.
