Tech mogul Elon Musk has once again altered the landscape of social media with a subtle but significant change on his platform, X Corp. (formerly Twitter).
Musk has followed through on his promise to remove headlines from news organizations’ posts, initiating a fresh evolution in the platform’s design.
The alteration, implemented on Wednesday, presents users with only the post content and its lead image, leaving out the traditional headline.
To access the full story, users must click on the displayed image, a change Musk claims will “greatly improve esthetics.”
This modification marks just the latest in a series of updates that Musk has introduced since taking control of the platform in 2022.
Only two weeks ago, he floated the idea of imposing a monthly subscription fee for all users to combat bot operations and enhance the platform’s integrity.
As the digital landscape continues to evolve under Musk’s leadership, the X Corp. platform appears set to reinvent how users interact with news and content, promising a more visually engaging and streamlined experience.
