The major transformation that has occurred at the social networking level continues with the recent change to the old Twitter. Now, Twitter.com has officially been renamed X.com. This change represents one of the final steps in a complete rebranding of the platform, following Elon Musk’s vision for the future of the platform. With this update, almost all references to the old Twitter have been removed, including “tweets” which has been replaced by “posts”.
Elon Musk confirmed this important change through the platform itself, now officially known as X.com. “All major systems are now on X.com,” Musk stated in his post. Now, when you access a post or share content, URLs now start with “x.com” instead of “twitter.com”. This change has been planned since Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, but is now fully visible to all users.
Although the scope has changed, the functionality of the X platform remains unchanged. The change is, above all, an exercise to reinforce the brand’s new identity under Musk’s leadership. For users, this means that old links that included “twitter.com” will be automatically redirected to the new “x.com” domain, without affecting the browsing experience or daily use of the social network. Other similar changes have previously been implemented, such as changing the name of “Tweets” to “Posts.”
The URL change represents the final step in the brand’s transformation, symbolizing Elon Musk’s commitment to completely reshaping the platform according to his vision. Time will tell how these changes will be received in the long term, but for now, users can expect the core of the platform to remain the same, just under a new identity.
