Social network X has finally moved from the domain twitter.com on x.com

Twitter was renamed to X in July 2023, but the site address has not changed, the domain x.com I also redirected users to twitter.com .

First, the owner of the social network conducted a survey in which he proposed to decide which design theme should be the main one on Twitter — light or dark. At the time of writing, there were 20 hours left until the end of voting, the dark interface managed to get 75.8% of the votes.

After that, Musk admitted that he "loves negative feedback on the platform," and warned that soon she would "say goodbye to the Twitter brand and all its birds."

He said that the new logo will have the letter "X", and if they "show him a good icon today, the social network will start using it everywhere tomorrow." Later, he confirmed his intentions to abandon the bird logo in the audio room with users.

Steps to create an ecosystem X

Even before buying Twitter, Elon Musk said that this deal was a step towards creating the X ecosystem, or "an application that has everything." Since March 2023, he changed the legal name of Twitter to X Corp (it is part of X Holdings Corp), and in July announced the launch of the AI company xAI.
