  • Elon Musk continues to make controversial choices with his social media platform, this time dropping headlines from shared news articles.

    The X News Daily tweeted in August about the upcoming change:

    NEWS: X is changing how news links show up on the timeline.

    It will strip out the headline/text so links display only an article’s lead image.

    In response to that tweet, Musk tweeted that the decision came directly from him:

    This is coming from me directly. Will greatly improve the esthetics.

    The change appears to have been completed, as headlines are no longer showing.
