Elon Musk Reverses Decision, Will Reintroduce Headlines to X

The move comes less than two months after headlines were removed, and amid a series of controversial decisions and declining value of the platform.

Elon Musk, owner of X (formerly Twitter), has announced that the platform will reintroduce headlines to news article links, reversing a policy change implemented in September.
The decision to remove headlines was initially aimed at improving aesthetics and keeping users on the platform longer, but was met with widespread criticism, particularly from journalists.
Musk's announcement indicates that the headlines will now appear overlaid on the article's lead image, rather than below it, in an effort to maintain the platform's aesthetics.
The change comes amid a series of controversial decisions by Musk, including a rebranding of the platform and the introduction of a paywall, as well as allegations of promoting antisemitic content.
The value of X has declined over the past year since Musk’s group of investors bought it for $44 billion and took the company private, with new stock options valuing the company at $19 billion.
