X owner Elon Musk is being called out for a new policy on his social media platform that reduces the visibility of users who do not use another person’s “preferred pronouns” in posts.

The new policy came to the surface when Libs of TikTok creator Chaya Raichik posted it and called out to Mr. Musk in an X post to clarify the move.
