On Monday, it appears X attempted to encourage users to cease referring to it as Twitter and instead adopt the name X. Some users began noticing that posts viewed via X for iOS were changing any references of “Twitter.com” to “X.com” automatically.
If a user typed in “Twitter.com,” they would see “Twitter.com” as they typed it before hitting “Post.” But, after submitting, the platform would show “X.com” in its place on the X for iOS app, without the user’s permission, for everyone viewing the post.
And shortly after this revelation, it became clear that there was another big issue: X was changing anything ending in “Twitter.com” to “X.com.”
Someone on here pointed out the name change would break links the day it was announced and somehow Elon found a way to make it break in an even dumber way
He basically tried taking a post-it note with “X.com” written on it and stuck it on top of anything he saw that said “twitter.com” without actually fixing it.
for a second i thought you were talking about chapo chat lmfao
