The short-lived X structure on top of the company's San Francisco headquarters in 2023. Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Elon Musk has taken another major step in his effort to, as they say, “make fetch happen,” officially changing the URL for Twitter.com to X.com. Not to worry, though, you can still type Twitter.com into your browser, like a normal person, and that’ll still take you to the same hell site overflowing with “pussy in bio” bots. Musk announced the move on Twitter (a.k.a. X), tweeting out “All core systems are now on http://X.com.” The post was accompanied by a graphic that kinda looks like you could’ve made it with Microsoft WordArt in 2004. A further message alerted users: “Welcome to x.com! We are letting you know that we are changing our URL, but your privacy and data protection settings remain the same.” Musk officially launched the Twitter rebrand nobody asked for last summer, though he’d been teasing it basically since he bought the social media platform in Oct. 2022 for $44 billion. Musk has long been obsessed with “X”-based branding: His pre-PayPal start-up also used X.com, his rocket company is SpaceX, and he even named one of his children with Grimes, X Æ A-12.
