Twitters

There are things we can do. When our members tell us that they've had a negative interaction, whether it's any type of physical safety risk, assault, financial fraud, we act on those reports immediately. That’s a lot of what my team is going to be doing. A second critical piece of that is working with law enforcement.

The big brands seemed only too happy to comply, and these days, users will find their feeds littered with spam touting dubious no-name products and services, from supposedly better bras to cryptocurrency exchanges, instead of recognizable promotions from the likes of Disney or Apple. Musk needs these…

Update, 1:12 p.m.: Shortly after this article was published, Musk responded to a question about the issue from far-right influencer Jackson Hinkle. Musk promised to investigate, and the accounts went back up soon after. Musk later blamed the “mistake” on X’s spam algorithms. The Hamas account is still suspended.

Being the eternal troll and marketing genius that he is, Elon Musk, soon after renaming and rebranding Twitter in to X, has renamed all the conference rooms in Twitter's head office. The new names, all play around the alphabet X…

Twitter has changed its official handle from @Twitter to @X, as Engadget's intrepid reporter Kris Holt noticed ("Oof," he observed). If you attempt to access @Twitter, it now states: "This account is no longer active. Follow @X for updates." All past @Twitter tweets, (or X's, or whatever they're now called), are henceforth available in the @X account.  That's not all.
