Musk confirms X link post deprioritization

After Graham complains that the deprioritization of links in X posts:

The deprioritization of tweets with links in them is Twitter’s biggest flaw. It bothers me more than all the new right-wing trolls. Trolls I’m used to, but what draws me to Twitter is to find out what’s going on, and you can’t do that without links.

Musk responds:

Just write a description in the main post and put the link in the reply. This just stops lazy linking.
