Elon Musk has a history of floating edgy ideas for X and not implementing them or, at the least, slow-walking them. Nearly a year ago, Musk said he planned to eliminate the ability to block users, a development that would’ve rendered the site formerly known as Twitter into even more of a hellscape. He hasn’t actually done it, and if he ever does, there’s no guarantee the change will stick.
But Musk’s latest plan to axe one of the site’s most famous features has been set in motion: Soon, likes of posts will be anonymous to all but the person who sent the post and the person who pressed the like button. Musk and his engineers say that the update is a matter of encouraging free expression. “Important to allow people to like posts without getting attacked for doing so!” Musk argues. His director of engineering says, “Public likes are incentivizing the wrong behavior. For example, many people feel discouraged from liking content that might be ‘edgy’ in fear of retaliation from trolls, or to protect their public image.”
