“Side project: Now you can see the X confetti when subscribe to X Premium. Subscribe today,” the web designer said in a post on Thursday.
However, the feature, at least for now, is not for those who already are members of X Premium.

What is X Premium?
It was announced by Elon Musk shortly after the billionaire's October 2022 acquisition of the microblogging website's parent firm, Twitter, Inc (rebranded as X Corp in July). Known as Twitter Blue at the time of launch and now called X Premium, it is an opt-in, paid subscription that adds a blue tick to handles (thus ‘verifying’ the account) and provides early access to select features.
