X to Remove Bold Texts from Main Timeline: A Game-Changer Move

X is undergoing some changes after Elon Musk criticized a feature that he himself had introduced but now sees as “not beneficial” for users. Musk confirmed from his personal account on X that he will be removing the ability to display bold content on the timeline. This change comes after Musk observed excessive use of this feature on the platform, which was causing discomfort for him. Interestingly, Musk made this decision without consulting the rest of the X community.

According to Musk, there is an excessive and abusive use of bold formatting on the platform, leading to visual issues. Messages posted in bold will still retain their formatting when accessed directly, but they will no longer appear on the main timeline. It’s worth noting that text formatting was one of the benefits Musk introduced to X less than a month after acquiring the platform. Initially, it was a perk for premium account holders. Musk implemented this change as part of the platform’s improvements based on community feedback. However, the decision to remove it was made without consulting the community, which has sparked some controversy.
