Elon Musk bans hashtags from X ads

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has revealed that hashtags will no longer be allowed in advertisements on X, effective June 27, 2025.

Musk made the announcement in a post on his official X account on Thursday, stating,
“Starting tomorrow, the aesthetic nightmare that is hashtags will be banned from ads on X.”

This decision follows Musk’s earlier suggestion in December 2024 to eliminate hashtags—a move that gained traction after users reported improved post reach without using them.

Many X users have welcomed the change, calling it a bold and transformative step toward creating a cleaner and more refined user experience.
