Elon Musk Announces Plans to Hide 'Likes' and 'Reposts' on X

In a move to declutter the platform, users will need to click on a post to view engagement metrics, sparking widespread debate.

Elon Musk revealed plans to remove the visibility of 'likes' and 'reposts' from the X timeline, aiming to simplify the platform's appearance.
Users will still have access to engagement metrics by clicking on a post, with only view counts remaining visible on the timeline.
The decision has been met with criticism from users and influencers, who argue it could decrease engagement and make the platform less interactive.
Musk's move aligns with his vision of transforming X into an 'everything app', incorporating social media, banking, and shopping functionalities.
Critics question the rationale behind hiding engagement metrics, suggesting it could impact the platform's dynamic and user experience.
