Social Network Transition Complete

The social network formerly known as Twitter has officially rebranded to X.com. When you type twitter.com into your browser, it will now redirect to Elon Musk’s preferred domain, though this may vary depending on your browser and login status.

Privacy and Data Protection Unchanged
A message on the X.com login page assures users that despite the URL change, their privacy and data protection settings remain the same.

Rebranding Challenges
The transition has been awkward, with many parts of the platform already using the new branding, including the official account, mobile apps, and “X Premium” subscriptions. However, URLs have only recently begun redirecting from twitter.com to X.com.

Security Concerns
The slow transition has led to an increase in phishing attacks, according to cybersecurity expert Brian Krebs.

Musk’s Vision for X.com
Elon Musk has a long history with the X.com URL, having launched a business under the name in 1999. He envisions X.com evolving into an all-encompassing app similar to China’s WeChat.

Conclusion
While the rebranding effort continues, one thing is clear: the platform is no longer Twitter.
