Elon Musk acquired Twitter in October 2022 and changed its name to X. Not just that, he also replaced the company’s iconic bird symbol with a new X logo. When users visited twitter.com today, they were redirected to x.com. A pop-up notification greeted those accessing the microblogging site via browsers: “Welcome to x.com! We are letting you know that we are changing our URL, but your privacy and data protection settings remain the same.” In a post on X three hours ago, Elon Musk shared that the site formerly known as Twitter has fully migrated to x.com. He wrote, “All core systems are now on x.com.” He also posted an image of a logo with a white X on a blue circle. The logo has two shades of blue, and it is unclear whether Musk will change the platform’s logo again with this one. The official handle of X also shared a post about the domain change. It simply reads: “x dot com.” “We are still gonna call it Twitter,” said an individual. Another added, “x.com marks the spot!” “x.com looks good in my browser address bar,” commented a third. A fourth posted, “The beginning of a new era. X.” “Finally, Elon Musk’s dream comes true. Never bet against this man!” expressed a fifth. A sixth joined, “twitter dot com*.” Elon Musk completed a $44 billion deal to acquire Twitter in October 2022 and announced its rebranding last year. Since then, the platform has undergone various changes, including being rebranded as “X” and changing the terms “tweets” to “posts” and “retweets” to “reposts”. Additionally, Musk replaced the iconic blue bird logo, originally named after basketball player Larry Bird, with a white X on a black background. The only thing that remained unchanged until today was the domain name – “twitter.com”.
