Elon Musk, the owner of X (formerly Twitter), announced that all X accounts with 2,500 or more verified subscriber followers will receive Premium features for free. Additionally, accounts with over 5,000 verified subscriber followers will get all Premium+ features at no cost.
Upon initial reading, one might mistakenly think that having over 2,500 followers entitles them to a free X Premium subscription. However, this is not the case.
One should have a total of at least 2,500 accounts in their follower list who have paid for either Basic, Premium, or Premium+ subscriptions on X. Similarly, for a free Premium+ account, one should have over 5,000 followers subscribed to either of these plans.
Going forward, all 𝕏 accounts with over 2500 verified subscriber followers will get Premium features for free and accounts with over 5000 will get Premium+ for free

Premium and Premium+ subscriptions provide access to GrokAI, a blue checkmark, the ability to create longer posts, and additional features. Premium subscribers encounter fewer ads, while Premium+ users enjoy an ad-free experience on X.
Until recently, GrokAI was limited to only Premium+ subscribers, but it’s now open to Premium subscribers too. The newest xAI AI chatbot is accessible in over 48 countries, including India.
Presently, when subscribed from a desktop, a Premium subscription costs Rs 650 monthly, while Premium+ subscription is priced at Rs 1,300.
