As we speak, many desktop Twitter customers have been shocked to see that typing Twitter.com now redirects them to Elon Musk’s X.
Together with the redirect, a message on the backside of the webpage says, “We’re letting you already know that we’re altering our URL, however your privateness and knowledge safety settings stay the identical.”
The area transition from Twitter to now X was a bizarre one. Nearly every part, just like the platform’s official account, cellular apps, and ineffective premium accounts, was below the brand new X branding, whereas Twitter.com nonetheless labored.
In fact, although Elon Musk continues to be turning X into the “every part app” he has envisioned, customers on X are sticking by the unique identify and telling Musk, “We’re nonetheless gonna name it Twitter.”
The platform, previously generally known as Twitter, has seen higher days. Bots reside in folks’s mentions, porn is throughout timelines, and there are means too many Cheech and Chong edible advertisements.
Nonetheless, as our favourite tech reviewer, Marques Brownlee, mentioned in a publish, it’s “nonetheless Twitter.”
You’ll be able to see extra reactions within the gallery beneath.
