Twitter is now called X.com, the rebranding is complete

The social network formerly known as Twitter has officially adopted X.com for all its core systems. This change, noted by Elon Musk, has been met with a mix of confusion and excitement by users around the world. Now that this domain transition is in effect, let’s take a look at the details of what this means for the future of the platform.

The transition process

The transition from twitter.com to X.com has been a long and somewhat challenging process. Now the URLs have finally changed, although many aspects of the platform had already been rebranded under the X name. This has raised some concerns, including an increased risk of phishing attacks as users navigate the new domain. Despite these difficulties, Musk remains determined to complete the transition successfully.

Elon Musk has a deep connection to the X.com URL, dating back to 1999, when he launched a company under the same name. This company eventually merged with what would become PayPal, eroding Musk’s ties to the domain. Now, with the modern adoption of X.com, Musk wants to create a platform that can rival WeChat’s popularity and provide users with a comprehensive “all-app” experience.

User privacy and data protection

One of the key concerns during this transition has been user privacy and data protection. To address these issues, a message will now appear on the X.com login page warning users that their privacy settings will remain unchanged despite the URL change. This commitment to ensuring user safety is a crucial aspect of the transition process.

While the process may not have been smooth so far, Musk’s vision of X as a comprehensive and innovative platform remains unchanged. With the support of loyal users and commitment to user privacy, X.com has the potential to revolutionize the social media landscape. Time will tell.
