SOCIAL MEDIA — Tesla and SpaceX entrepreneur, Elon Musk, has urged journalists to publish directly on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to enjoy greater freedom and income.
Musk’s appeal is part of a wider trend of social media platforms courting content creators. X is currently testing a new feature that hides headlines and other text from tweets containing links to news articles. Instead, only the lead image of the news article would be displayed.
Musk believes such a move would be instrumental in curbing clickbait and reducing tweet heights. Musk has offered rewards to entice content creators to fully embrace X’s role as a direct publishing platform.
