Elon Musk's X Removes Headlines and Links for a Cleaner Feed

TL;DR Summary
X, formerly known as Twitter, has stopped showing headlines on articles shared on its platform, opting instead to display only the article's lead image and the domain it will link to. This change, confirmed by X owner Elon Musk, is aimed at improving aesthetics and encouraging users to post more content directly on X. However, some users find the removal of headlines makes the platform harder to use and question whether it will lead to increased engagement as Musk hopes.
