X

X is the platform formerly known as Twitter, renamed in 2023 after its acquisition by Elon Musk.


The rename retired one of the most recognizable brands on the internet, and both names remain in everyday use. Posts are still widely called tweets, and the platform's culture of fast, text-first conversation is intact.

For marketers, X remains the fastest-moving network for news, opinions, and real-time conversation. See the best time to post on Twitter for when engagement peaks.
