Elon Musk will re-display headlines on X – Elon Musk announced that after eliminating headlines from preview cards containing URLs last month, X, formerly known as Twitter, will once again display headlines.
Elon Musk will re-display headlines on X
Musk stated in a post on X that the business will overlay the title in the upper part of the image of a URL card in a future update. He didn’t provide an illustration of how the card may appear or specify when it would be released.
The CEO of Tesla stated in August that X intended to discontinue displaying headlines with URLs in previews in favor of “better aesthetics.” Following the announcement, the firm stopped displaying headlines in October.
Users are no longer required to read the headline or truly know the title by tapping or clicking on the URL card as a result of this modification. Publishers began writing their own titles on photos and posting the link independently, or they would incorporate the headline in the image of the preview card that was generated, as a workaround for this move.

Publications may find this modification easier to use and less complicated than custom formats, but this entirely relies on how the new card is laid up.
Major sponsors, such as Apple, Disney, and Comcast, have stopped spending on X following Musk’s endorsement of antisemitic sentiments, causing the company to face a turbulent few weeks. Only a few weeks after signing on, Paris Hilton’s 11:11 network said on Tuesday that it was ending its connection with the social network firm.
Musk filed a lawsuit against Media Matters earlier this week on grounds of defamation. This was a reaction to a news report that claimed advertisements for companies such as Apple and IBM were showing up next to offensive material.
