Remnants removed

Musk has Twitter addresses redirected to x.com

Elon Musk's short messaging service X has removed another remnant from its past as Twitter. Almost ten months after the renaming, the web address of the profiles was still "twitter.com" until recently. This is now a thing of the past.

If you call up the old addresses in your browser, you will now be redirected to "x.com". All "core systems" now run under x.com, Musk wrote on Friday.

The tech billionaire bought Twitter in October 2022 for around 44 billion dollars. According to him, the renaming was necessary to emphasize that his platform should be much more than just a short message service.

In addition to a new function for calls, he also wants to make X a place for job searches and money transfers, among other things.
