Thank you, Twitter.com.
Despite the fact that Twitter has been formally rebranded for almost a year now, the majority of its pages continue to utilize Twitter as part of their URLs up to this point. Elon Musk has now made the announcement that the social network has completed the process of migrating all of its core services to X.com. This indicates that the social network has completed the transition into its new identity and has removed all vestiges of the name Twitter as well as its distinctive blue bird logo. It has also been brought to the attention of The Verge that the website has modified its landing page and login page, adding a note at the bottom that reads, “Welcome to x.com! Your privacy and data protection settings will not be affected in any way by the change in our URL, which we are informing you about through this message. Afterwards, it provides a link to its Privacy page, which now has x.com as its registered domain name.
All core systems are now on https://t.co/bOUOek5Cvy pic.twitter.com/cwWu3h2vzr

Throughout the course of the previous year, the corporation has gradually been abandoning its identity prior to the arrival of Elon Musk. Additionally, the Twitter logo was removed from the building that houses its headquarters, and the company’s official username was altered from @Twitter to @X. The favicons on its website were altered, which originally activated the security precautions of some browsers. Additionally, the X logo was replaced with the new X logo, which replaced the blue bird emblem that had been used previously. It has been decided to rebrand Tweetdeck as XPro, and Twitter Blue has been rebranded as X Premium. Additionally, the organization has been gradually transferring its sites to x.com. The process has been so gradual that it has become a potential security problem. This is due to the fact that malicious actors might exploit the inconsistent URL in order to phish victims. Now that the company has completed the process of shifting to its new URL, it is time to say goodbye to one of the last remaining components of a website that played a significant role in shaping the social media landscape.
