Elon Musk Announces Subscribers to X Will No Longer Be “Trapped”

X (formerly Twitter) recently announced the addition of audio and video call support. Now, the platform is developing a feature exclusively for creators, granting them the ability to retain their subscribers even if they decide to leave the platform. Unlike other social media platforms that focus on increasing engagement, X is taking a different approach. This upcoming feature will enable subscribers to share their email accounts with creators, facilitating communication outside of the platform. Elon Musk, the owner of the company, stated that this feature will reassure creators that they are not bound to the platform.

Responding to a post highlighting this new feature, Elon Musk said, “It’s vital that creators can leave the platform at any time and take their subscribers with them. We want to give creators peace of mind that they won’t be trapped if they build a large audience.”

The original poster, an X account dedicated to posting news and forum developments, originally said: “X is working on adding the ability to share your email when you subscribe to a creator. This could be for a newsletter feature and/or so creators can easily take their email list with them to other platforms, as Elon has previously promised.

X to share subscriber email list with content creators

Creators today want their followers to stay connected with them on multiple platforms because it allows them to communicate with them easily and provides the security that they can still retain their followers in a different way if their account is compromised. reset and start over.

This new feature to share email lists of subscribers with content creators takes this even further, giving them the assurance that they can leave the platform at any time without losing any of their core members.

But more importantly, it also tells them that they don’t need to split their attention across multiple platforms for fear of losing their subscribers. It is believed that the move could be an effort to get content creators to be exclusive to X.

One user responded to this: “This is a great idea because it leads to competition. No vendor lock-in is a good choice for consumer choice. I totally agree with the customer who owns the content and the subscribers. Then they choose which platform works best for them. It requires that X stays relevant by adding features.”
