The new feature is a significant step in personalized news aggregation, allowing users to stay updated with the latest trends and discussions without the need for extensive browsing.

Musk, who initially founded a company under the x.com URL in 1999, which later merged into PayPal, has reclaimed the domain to embody his vision for a new, integrated social media landscape.

The expansion allows those paying $8 a month to engage with Grok in either 'Regular' or 'Fun' mode, reflecting Elon Musk's ambition to rival other AI services like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini.

This chatbot is designed to offer users witty and humorous responses while addressing their queries. Musk announced Grok's launch on social media, stating that it will be available to all X Premium+ subscribers once the early beta version concludes.

Premium+ subscribers can enjoy an ad-free experience across their For You and Following feeds. This subscription also includes access to various creator tools. On the other hand, Basic subscribers will receive a smaller reply boost.

This expansion is part of X's broader strategy to become a multifunctional platform. X has already taken steps to broaden its offerings, such as allowing subscribers to upload videos up to two hours long and paying content creators with a substantial following.

The potential elimination of the block feature raises concerns about user safety and privacy, as blocking serves as a crucial tool to prevent unwanted interactions and harassment. Blocking restricts users from interacting with, viewing, and following an account.
