Elon Musk Announces Return of Article Headlines on X/Twitter Platform
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Variety
Elon Musk announces that X (formerly known as Twitter) will bring back article headlines in an upcoming release, overlaying them on the image of a URL card instead of removing them. This change comes after Musk previously removed headlines to improve aesthetics. The removal of headlines had affected the way users shared articles on X, as it lacked context. Additionally, X is facing an exodus of major advertisers following controversies surrounding Musk's endorsement of an antisemitic post and ads appearing next to pro-Nazi and white nationalist content. X has filed a lawsuit against activist group Media Matters, accusing them of a "blatant smear campaign."
