Elon Musk calls for stopping the use of hashtags

X CEO Elon Musk has officially stated that hashtags are not required when posting on the microblogging platform. The hashtags are downright unattractive, he said.

In response to a response from the Grok AI chatbot (which roasted hashtags with brutal sarcasm) to a question about whether hashtags are still relevant, Musk responded with his typical bluntness: “Please stop using hashtags.” The system doesn’t need them Any more and they look ugly.”

This response is significant given the debate that hashtags on X have lost their relevance despite once serving as powerful tools of digital discovery.

The hashtags, originally created to help users find trending topics and engage in specific conversations, are now derided as outdated relics of a bygone internet era.

He probably developed a new method to study the algorithm of contributions on X.

Grok AI’s answer clearly states that using hashtags is like a desperate cry into the void of the internet.

The algorithm does not need hashtags to work. The hashtags have become less functional and more cosmetic.
