The smartest, funniest man in the room is making smart, funny decisions again. For reasons that only a very stable genius can explain, The Artist Formerly Known As Twitter has stopped showing headlines for links that get posted on people\u2019s timelines. Only the embedded picture shows up. Why? Because Elon Musk thinks it would make posts \u201clook better.\u201d Elno\u2019s other great ideas include slowing down links to sites that he doesn\u2019t like and possibly putting Twitter<\/s> X behind a paywall and charging users a monthly fee. Everything\u2019s going great, guys. Nothing to see here!<\/p>\n

\n

X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, has stopped showing headlines for links posted on the site, after site owner Elon Musk said it would make posts look better.<\/p>\n

Links posted on Twitter now appear as the image included in the article, as well as text in the left-hand corner of the image noting the domain of the link. If users want to visit the page, they must click the image, but it only appears slightly different to how images uploaded to the site appear.<\/p>\n

The change was made on Wednesday for iOS and desktop users. The new appearance appeared not to apply to advertisement links.<\/p>\n

The move to remove headlines had been in the works since August. Following Forbes reports about the planned change, Musk tweeted: \u201cThis is coming from me directly. Will greatly improve the esthetics.\u201d<\/p>\n

X has become increasingly hostile for news organisations to use since Musk took over nearly one year ago. While never a major source of traffic for many news sites, the platform is used by most media organisations and reporters in news sharing and gathering, but reports suggest traffic has declined from Twitter since the takeover. In recent months, NPR and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) have pulled back on using the site.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

[From The Guardian]<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all just so stupid. This change makes it even easier to spread misinformation, which is probably the entire point. But that goes two ways. As usual, Twitter users are trolling Elon, posting links with his picture on them and creating their own headlines to things like, \u201cElon Musk supports Joe Biden\u2019s bid for re-election.\u201d This could make for a very funny weekend on Space Karen\u2019s platform. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t exactly know what Elon\u2019s end game is here, but I\u2019m of the opinion that he\u2019s intentionally trying to tank Twitter. I mean, he\u2019s a complete jackass, but at this point, it feels like his entire shtick is to own the libs either for his own amusement or because those are his marching orders. The platform is estimated to be worth somewhere between $4 and $8 billion now, which is, oh, around $36 to $40 billion less than he paid for it. It\u2019s said that some of Elno\u2019s investors aren\u2019t happy at all, so they may have had enough of his shenanigans. On Thursday, CEO-in-name-only Linda Yaccarino met with the banks that financed $13 out of that $44 billion to discuss plans to increase revenue. I\u2019m no business expert, but taking Apartheid Clyde out of the equation seems like it would be a great place to start.<\/p>\n
