It’s time. Twitter is definitely making history, at least as far as official support is concerned You will no longer be able to access twitter.com… or rather, you will no longer use the platform through said domain when you access it using a web browser, as the redirection to x.com will be automatic.

It’s been more than two years since Elon Musk – by then one of the company’s majority shareholders – began toying with the idea of ​​buying Twitter to do the same after a soap opera worthy of the character. , entering like an elephant in a china shop The changes came from day one, but they were to be far more profound than anyone could have predicted.

The most notable is the change name and brand platform. The little blue bird, the network’s favorite emblem, was the first to fall microblogging since its beginnings. Then came the unknown, i.e. X, perhaps a priori a disastrous decision, but undoubtedly a solid one as it turned out. And never better said.

One last leap into the void remained to be made, change url from twitter.com to x.com, a domain that Elon Musk acquired a long time ago, but still did not impose itself on the majority of users of the social network, who still accessed it through the usual one. But that is now over and although it is evident that they do not intend to leave the traditional domain, a step has been taken.

That’s the case if you’re a Twitter user… Well, if you’re a user twitter.comthe next time you do so, you’ll automatically be redirected to x.com with the following message as an introduction, in case you didn’t already know what was coming:

Welcome to x.com

And that’s all. Was I wrong when I said Twitter wasn’t going away?
