#ElonMusk Says Hashtags Will Be Banned From Ads On X "Starting Tomorrow"

🚫📢 Hashtags in ads on X (formerly Twitter) are getting the axe.

💬 Elon Musk announced that starting June 27, hashtags will no longer be allowed in paid advertisements, calling them an “esthetic nightmare.”

⚠️ This ban only applies to ads, not to regular user posts.

🧠 Why it matters:

🔹 Hashtags in ads help boost visibility, track engagement, and connect to trends.

🔹 Brands often use custom hashtags to drive campaigns and user content.

Now, they'll need a new strategy.

🧵 Regular users can still use hashtags to:

✅ Increase reach

✅ Join trending conversations

✅ Target niche audiences

🤖 X's AI assistant, Grok, responded to user queries:

🗨️ “Hashtags are still useful for regular posts despite the ad ban.”

📝 Tips from Grok:

🔹 Use 1–2 relevant hashtags per post

🔹 Research trending/niche tags

🔹 Post during peak times

🔹 Place hashtags mid-post or at the end for better engagement

🔄 Rotate hashtags to stay fresh & avoid filters

📊 Despite Musk’s critique, data shows that hashtags still help regular posts perform better across topics—from news to memes to movements.

📆 Mark your calendar: The ban goes live Friday, June 27.

🧼 Summary:

Hashtags are out for ads but still in for everyday users. Use wisely, avoid spam, and stay visible. 🚀
