Notably, Twitter started engaged on longer type posts lengthy earlier than Elon Musk’s takeover of the corporate. The corporate confirmed off an early model, initially known as “Notes”, because it appeared to lure publication writers and different creators to the service.

X additionally from information tales shared on the platform final fall (headlines ultimately returned, in a a lot smaller font).
