Should You Use Hashtags In Your Post On X? Check What Elon Musk Says

Social media users utilize hashtags to organize posts by topic, actively helping others find content related to specific subjects. Hashtags help people easily find posts about things they're interested in.

Elon Musk

“#Hashtag” became a trending topic on X, after Elon Musk, the platform’s owner, requested that users should stop using hashtags. Musk made a public appeal, saying, “Please stop using hashtags. The system doesn’t need them anymore and they look ugly.” His request came in response to a user’s post, which featured an answer from X’s AI, Grok, addressing whether hashtags should still be used on the platform. User ask the Grok, “should I use hashtags or not on X?”

Grok’s response, filled with sarcasm, cautioned users against the use of the hashtags, labeling them a “ticket to nowhere” in the “grand scheme of digital obscurity.” The original post received massive attention on X, with over 25 million views and more than 3,000 likes.

According to a report by ‘Fox5’, the photo quote shared by Musk may be edited. When FOX5 asked the same question to Grok, the answer was different. “The use of hashtags on X (formerly Twitter) is a topic of debate with varying perspectives based on recent changes and user experiences,” said Grok, providing some additional information.
