Elon Musk confirms Twitter officially moving over to 'X' domain

Twitter has moved over to X domain. This follows the brand renaming exercise, which happened in July 2023 soon after Elon Musk took over as CEO of the social media platform. Elon Musk rebranded Twitter to X in July 2023, but Twitter domain remained in service as switching domain did not seem as easy as the logo switch. However, now all core systems of the platform have been moved over to “X.com”.

If a user happens to land on the login page of X, there is a new notification that pops-up stating “We are letting you know that we are changing our URL, but your privacy and data protection settings remain the same.”

There are reported to be instances still where visiting Twitter does not redirect the URL to X but opens the landing page of the platform. That said, the transition to X domain seems to be happening in a staggered manner. The domain is expected to soon reflect X for all.

Billionaire Elon Musk bought the social media platform Twitter in 2022. He later rebranded the platform to X in July 2023. While the blue bird logo was replaced with “X”, domain shift has not happened until today due to technical complications associated with it.

As per media reports, the URL for the social media platform started to change in August last year. However, there was a switching back and forth between new and old domains.
