Black is the New Blue- What is Behind Elon’s “X”?
The journey to “X” began with Elon registering X.com in 1999, which later became synonymous with his sentimental attachment. Having regained ownership of the domain a few years ago, He used “X.com” as the new domain for the newborn “X.” This dots back to the previous April announcement when Twitter rebranded itself as “X Corp,” while retaining the name Twitter. Now, the transition to the new domain, http://x.com, seems complete.
Meanwhile, Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino further fueled the community’s anticipation, as she mentioned that “X would bring in everything the fans. And critics had been pushing Twitter to achieve for years. We have already witnessed X taking shape ….through rapid feature launches, but it’s only the beginning”
Further, Linda’s tweet provided insight into what X could be. She stated that it would be an app combining audio, video, messaging, and payments/banking. And even creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities—all powered by AI. This comprehensive approach has the community buzzing with excitement.
Finally With X gradually making its presence felt, it raises the question of how this reimagined platform will shape the future of social networking.
