Elon Musk's X to Ditch Headlines in Favor of Images

The social media platform X, previously known as Twitter, is reportedly planning to remove headlines and other text from tweets that contain links to news articles, displaying only the lead image of the article. This change, confirmed by Elon Musk himself, aims to improve aesthetics and reduce the height of tweets, allowing more content to fit on users' screens. The alteration would require users, including publishers, to manually add their text when sharing links, as tweets would otherwise only show the image with an overlay of the URL. The source indicates that Musk believes the change will help reduce clickbait.
