Elon Musk intends to strip the headlines of any news articles posted online to X, formerly known as Twitter, as his latest effort to change the platform to fit his vision.

Musk confirmed on Tuesday that he intends to remove headlines from news articles on the platform. If a link is posted to X right now, it will have a headline, a picture, a summary, and a link. If Musk's update goes through, the headline will be removed, further limiting user ability to see the contents before clicking. The billionaire's reasoning for the choice is to reduce the size of news content on the platform and to display more posts in the process, according to Fortune.

The update will also "greatly improve the esthetics [sic]," Musk wrote.

Musk has reportedly run this idea by advertisers, who said they "didn't like it." The billionaire intends to go through with it regardless.

Musk has recently made several website design decisions that have drawn ire and disdain from users. He announced on Friday that he intends to remove the ability for users to block others on the platform. Several users pushed back, saying this was harmful to the user experience.

Musk attempted to play with the website last week when users reported that links to certain websites were "throttled" or slowed down. Links to the New York Times, Reuters, Instagram, Bluesky, and Mastodon were on a five-second delay. X eventually reversed the throttling of news content but kept it up for competitors. The platform has not commented on why specific links were throttled.

Musk's vision is to turn X into an "everything app" that can compete with the likes of PayPal and other social websites such as Facebook and Instagram. He appointed former NBCUniversal executive Linda Yaccarino as the CEO in May to help the company as it seeks to improve its finances.
