Elon Musk completed his acquisition of Twitter in October 2022; Musk acted as CEO of Twitter until June 2023 when he was succeeded by Linda Yaccarino. Under Musk, Twitter was rebranded to X. It is one of the top social media platforms and the fifth-most-visited website in the world.[3][4] Users can share posts containing text messages, images, and videos and interact with other users' content through likes and reposts.[5] X offers additional features such as direct messaging, video and audio calling, bookmarks, lists, communities, a chatbot, and the social audio feature Spaces.
Founded in March 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams as Twitter, it underwent a rebranding in July 2023 after being acquired by Elon Musk in 2022.
Now operating as X, the platform closely resembles its predecessor but includes additional features such as long-form texts,[6] account monetization options,[7] audio-video calls,[8] integration with xAI's Grok chatbot,[9] job search,[10] and a verification process accessible to premium users.[11] Several Twitter features have been removed from the site, including Circles,[12]NFT profile pictures,[13] and pronouns in profiles.[14] Musk aims to transform X into an "everything app", akin to WeChat.[15]
