Twitter is officially X.com now​

/

The social network formerly known as Twitter has switched over to X.com.​

The social network formerly known as Twitter has officially adopted X.com for all its core systems. That means typing twitter.com in your browser will now redirect to Elon Musk’s favored domain, or should. At the time of publication, we’re seeing a mix of results depending upon browser choice and whether you’re logged in or not.
A message also now appears at the bottom of the X login page that reads, “We are letting you know that we are changing our URL, but your privacy and data protection settings remain the same.”
The domain transition has been one of the more awkward aspects of Elon Musk’s move to rebrand the company. Although many aspects of X migrated to the new branding long ago — including its official account, its mobile apps, and its “X Premium” (fka Blue) subscriptions — the platform’s URLs have remained twitter.comever since Musk officially initiated the switch to X.
The URLs started to change way back in August of last year, when some Verge staffers were able to copy x.com links from the share sheet inside X’s iOS app. The clumsy transition has been a gift to phishing attacks, said Brian Krebslast month.

It's still Twitter.com for me.

Even though it doesn't have three Xs, it still sounds like a pornography domain to me.

Musk is a dummy. He probably still hasn’t set up the 301 redirect. Even though he said he did on of his tweets.

Makes perfect sense!

It'll always be Twitter. I don't care what Elon says.

The name change is ridiculous. He should of kept the name.

Twitter had too much baggage with it, was always a cess pool. Its name only evoked negative thoughts, but it isn't like it is much different now anyway so the new branding will be tarnished.

There were pretty much 20 years of history with the name of Twitter. Old links, and embeds everywhere are now all broken. There was a lot of brand history and social wealth built with the name Twitter. All that is gone and replaced by what exactly? It's like having a cultural identity of Xerox and destroying it by naming it Bob or something dumb.

I'm not defending Twitter, as it was filled with garbage but, having so much brand identity and simply tossing it in a fire is a stable genius move.

It's kind of hard to polish a turd.
Twitter/X is one thing that I never got into. It takes a lot more than 240 characters for me to generally espouse my thoughts... just ask anyone that has read some of my diatribes.

Twitter.com is redirecting to x.com for me.

There was an official Tweet / X from Musk.
