HOT NEWS : Pride Content Blocked On X Permanently, ‘Protecting Kids Comes First’ READ MORE

Elon Musk has found himself at the center of another social media firestorm, this time for X’s new policy limiting the visibility of Pride-related content.

Musk defended the decision in his signature blunt style, tweeting, “It’s not good for kids,” as the platform began de-prioritizing LGBTQ+ hashtags, ads, and posts. The move has drawn sharp criticism from activists, celebrities, and users who accuse Musk of rolling back progress in inclusivity, while some conservative voices are hailing him as a “defender of family values.”

Under the new policy, content promoting Pride Month, LGBTQ+ rights, or inclusive messaging will be flagged as “age-sensitive,” reducing its reach and visibility. Musk claimed the decision was about “protecting young minds,” but critics argue it sends a dangerous message that equates LGBTQ+ visibility with something inappropriate for children.

In a late-night announcement, Musk explained the rationale behind the decision: “Social media platforms have a responsibility to ensure that kids are exposed to ideas appropriate for their age. While everyone’s welcome on X, we have to draw the line somewhere.”
