How to do it?

Twitter “now it’s X” is a popular social network and microblogging platform where users can post short messages (tweets) with a limited length of no more than 280 characters. Tweets can include text, photos, videos, links, and other multimedia content. Twitter allows users to communicate, share ideas, express their views on a variety of topics, and follow current events through tweets from other users, including news, celebrities, organizations, and more. The platform also supports interaction through “likes”, “retweets” (reposts), comments and private messages. Twitter is used for a variety of purposes including education, marketing, information sharing, investigation, customer support, and many others.

On March 14, 2022, Elon Musk purchased a 9.2% stake in Twitter, Inc. (73.48 million shares). The value of the package, according to the stock exchange value on April 1, amounted to more than 2.8 billion dollars, against the background of the news, shares of “Twitter” on the cryptocurrency market rose by more than 25%. On April 25, 2022, Twitter’s board of directors accepted Musk’s offer to buy the company for $44 billion, but Musk backed out of the deal in July. In August 2022, a court in the state of Delaware ordered Twitter to hand over to Elon Musk additional documents calculating the fate of bots and spam accounts in this social network. In addition, Elon Musk’s lawyers requested documents from 22 other Twitter employees who, according to the lawyers, provided information about spam on the social network and analysis of the number of bots. Meanwhile, Twitter provided Musk with information from about 41 of its employees about the incident. On October 6, 2022, a court hearing a lawsuit between Musk and the company ruled that Musk must complete the purchase of Twitter by October 28 to avoid a lawsuit. On October 27, 2022, the agreement was signed. Ilon became the head of the company. Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal and two other senior employees have stepped down from management. On July 24, 2023, Twitter’s homepage was renamed to “X”, and a day earlier a redirect from the x.com domain to twitter.com was set up. The new logo of the social network is a white letter X on a black background. According to Musk, tweets will be renamed “xs”. Businessmen also noted that the rebranding is related to the fact that earlier in the application it was possible to communicate by posting short messages of 140 characters, but now “you can publish almost anything that is convenient, including several hours of video.
