Just when you think Elon Musk can�t get any more divisive, he�s weighed in on the light mode versus dark mode debate � and Twitter, currently undergoing a rebranding to X, is apparently going all in on the latter. Early this morning, Musk posted that �this platform will soon only have �dark mode�. It is better in every way.�
That immediately brought about the usual responses that you might expect, with several people making the case that light text on black can be harder to read. Many are asking Twitter to preserve a light mode option even if it switches to dark mode as the default for X�s new design identity.
As someone whose phone only enters dark mode in the rarest of circumstances, that seems like the right path to me. All those apps that dynamically adjust to light or dark based on your current OS setting? This is the way. But I know some strong proponents of full-time dark mode, and that seems to be the direction Musk is leaning.
Twitter currently offers a few different background options based on a user�s individual preference: there�s light mode, a �dim� setting with a dark blue / gray background, and �lights out� that�s full-on black.
The gradual rebranding of Twitter to X is moving along: last night, the company�s Android app got a makeover, with the new name and logo now depicted in the Google Play Store. Presumably, the iOS app will follow before long. Meanwhile, Twitter is doing its best to lure back advertisers and dangling verification as an incentive for brands to spend more on the platform.

Accessibility is a dying breed.

That's about the only half decent choice that's been made recently. Dark mode for life.

Of course it's dumb not to have both, though.

Dark Mode should be default for all websites.

I think Musk is doing this on purpose to force Twitter into being sold for more than he paid for it.

For once, I can't really fault him on a decision he's made. If a website has a dark mode option, I turn that shit on and never turn it back off.

Unless I'm reading lengthy articles, I prefer dark mode. It doesn't work everywhere, especially sites that don't explicitly support it.

It took me some time to get used to dark mode for emails.

Then he should be making it better, not worse.

I think he wants to scare the shareholders so much that they pay him a king's ransom to fuck off. It's the only thing that could possibly explain his actions.

This. My eye can't stand seeing black text on white. I'm okay with the decision of Twitter/X being dark mode only.

There are no shareholders, the first thing he did upon buying the company was tell them to fuck off and take the company private.

Musks only decision I am ok with.

There should be an option of course, but I will never ever use that option.

EVER.

But yeah, Elon being for freedom is laughable.
