Twitter.com Is Now Officially X.com
Elon Musk announced last Friday on X that the social media platform has transferred all of its information to the URL X.com. “All core systems are now on X.com,” said the platform’s CEO. This update comes as part of the last phase of the rebranding process of what was Twitter, which began in 2023.
According to France 24, this means that URLs from Twitter will automatically redirect to an X.com address, and all services and systems have been integrated into the new domain as the centralized link.
Even though the logo, name, and certain pages changed months ago, Twitter’s main URL prevailed. According to The Verge, “www.twitter.com” existed until the day the transition was announced, and users got a message informing them about the redirection. “We are letting you know that we are changing our URL, but your privacy and data protection settings remain the same.” However, some browsers took a few hours to update the page name from Twitter to X.
The process began last year, and a few issues appeared along the way, including phishing attacks. And not all users have been pleased with this transition.
After Musk informed on X about the change, many users replied with messages such as “We are still gonna call it Twitter” and “But majority people still call it Twitter and tweet.”
Despite the audience’s reluctance to the changes, Elon Musk continues to pursue his dream of naming one of his companies “X.” He’s had this idea since 1999 when he created the online financial transaction site “X.com”, which eventually merged with PayPal.
Musk’s recent changes to monetize X have also ended major network integrations. For example, Nintendo recently announced the end of X integration for its Switch devices.
