'What is X Premium for $8 per month?': Wife questions husband in viral chat

A screenshot depicting a humorous exchange between a married couple is currently gaining widespread attention online. The image captures a conversation on Apple's iMessage service, where the wife is questioning her husband about a recurring $8 monthly charge labeled under "X Premium."

This subscription belongs to the social media platform owned by Elon Musk's company, which was previously known as Twitter. The viral tweet, originally shared by US-based entrepreneur Alex Cohen, has amassed a staggering 15 million views and garnered more than 105.3k likes.

Mr Cohen accompanied the screenshot with a lighthearted comment, stating, "My wife just texted me this, I'm sleeping on the couch tonight." The message thread captures the wife's query about payment on her husband's credit card: "Um, what is 'X Premium' for $8/mo on the Chase card?" To which the husband responds with a bemused, "â€æhow do I explain this?"

The tweet's release prompted a flurry of comments from fellow users.

Meanwhile, Twitter underwent a rebranding, being named as X under Elon Musk's ownership. Musk assumed control of the platform in November 2022, instigating a series of changes, including a significant reduction in the company's workforce and the appointment of Linda Yaccarino as CEO. This rebranding marks the latest in a series of transformations by Musk, as Twitter grapples with ongoing challenges related to its advertising revenue.
