Twitter News, Tips, Tricks & Ideas

We recently found out about X owner Elon Musk's plans to turn the social media platform into an “everything app”, after his speech from the all-hands meeting with the employees was leaked. He talked a lot about Communities, highlighting that it is growing at a rapid pace. Perhaps to double down on that growth, X will soon get another new feature in Communities. This new feature, pinned hashtag, will allow group admins to pin certain hashtags at the top and allow users to follow a certain topic within the group.

Twitter was transformed into X earlier this year, and while the change was essentially a logo, name, and domain shift, company owner Elon Musk has much grander plans for his platform. From a simple messaging platform, in his own words, Musk wants to turn X into an ‘everything app', similar to China's WeChat, where people can do a bunch of different things outside of typical social media activities on the app itself. This can include even checking your bank account balance, applying for a job, watching a live stream, shopping for clothes, and even finding a date. Even if it sounds ridiculous, Musk is pretty serious about it and mentioned it all during the company's first all-hands employee meeting.

X (formerly Twitter) is going to get quite a few banking and finance features in 2024, and they will include payment-related features too. That is the intent Elon Musk has expressed often. As such, those who are wondering about the connection between financial services and social media should not be surprised, as company owner Musk has said that he plans to turn X into an “everything app”, much like China's WeChat and Alipay. But an everything app does not just have payments, it is also required to have a lot of other services as well. So, what exactly is Musk planning to bring to X? Let us take a look.

In yet another roll out of a massive change on X platform that can have far-reaching consequences for users and, as usual, without warning, X owner Elon Musk says he is, "Making a slight change to creator monetization." By now that is familiar territory for Musk who has made it a habit of springing surprises on X users that they are not really expecting or have not been informed about beforehand.

One year ago, billionaire and new owner Elon Musk walked into Twitter's San Francisco headquarters with a white bathroom sink and a grin, fired its CEO and other top executives and began transforming the social media platform into what is now known as X.

 Elon Musk's X began offering new subscription tiers for users on Friday in an attempt to shore up revenue at the social media company. 

Last night, X (formerly Twitter) finally launched two more subscription tiers to the paid version of its platform, known as the X Premium subscription. The Elon Musk-owned social media platform now has a Basic, Premium, and Premium Plus tier for those who want to access features such as editing a post, posting longer posts, and background video playing. Every tier unlocks some tier-specific benefits, and the most expensive plan, Premium Plus, unlocks all the features, and on top of that removes all ads and gives the user the “largest boost for your replies”. Let us take a look at the tiers, their price, and what they offer.

X (formerly Twitter) is going to get financial features in 2024, and they will include payment-related features too. And the company owner Elon Musk believes that they are so powerful that no one willeven require a bank account anymore. He made this big revelation at the company's first joint all-hands meeting alongside CEO Linda Yaccarino. This comes after Yaccarino openly shared the vision of turning X into a super app. The financial features might be the first real step towards that, as the platform moves away from the social media space.

Executives at X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, said they see YouTube and LinkedIn as future competitors while pursuing new business lines in video and hiring.

Not content with trashing one treasured website this year, Elon Musk has turned his sights on another: Wikipedia, the crowdsourced encyclopedia founded in 1999 that has come to represent the very best of what the internet has to offer.

Slack is one of the world's most popular tools for communication used by professionals and businesses. The platform has a vast number of features that give it an advantage over other forms of communication including WhatsApp, such as allowing up to 50 users in video calls via a huddle. Catering to millions of users worldwide, Slack has a Status account on X that keeps them updated about any ongoing issues related to login, search, notifications, connections, and more. However, the platform has announced the shutdown of the account, and users won't be able to check the status anymore.

For weeks, it has been known that X (formerly Twitter) would introduce multiple tiers as part of its subscription known as X Premium. It is just one of the several changes that the microblogging platform has undergone since Elon Musk's acquisition. Although the majority of Musk's moves have been called draconian by users, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO has not shied away from enforcing them, with the aim of making X a super app that competes with China's WeChat. In the latest announcement, Musk has now revealed that the tiers of the X Premium subscription could be coming soon.

Many experts have criticized X (formerly Twitter) for letting misinformation spread on its platform in the past. But a new low for the platform came on Thursday, October 19, when a fact-checking website found that the owner of the platform, Elon Musk, was spreading misinformation through one of his posts on X. The post in question is a video that had a series of screenshots of news headlines where the efficacy of various COVID-19 vaccines was shown to decline in order of percentage. The fact-checker called it misleading and missing context. Interestingly, Musk has been vocal on the platform against the social and government-based pressure of getting the vaccine.

Ever since Elon Musk took over X (formerly Twitter), it has undergone a myriad of changes. In a bid to make it a super app that can compete with China's WeChat, the microblogging platform has received several new features, alongside a complete rebranding that resulted in Larry the Bird being replaced by an X. However, not all users are happy with the multitude of changes being introduced on the platform, with several of them calling these moves draconian. Just recently, it was announced that X would bring a 3-tier subscription model to its X Premium.

By now, it is clear that Elon Musk is heavily pushing to expand the premium user base on X (formerly Twitter). In 2023 alone, the platform has introduced multiple exclusive features for its X Premium subscription. Some of these features have also proven to be controversial, and users have argued that they restrict the existing features from free users, calling them draconian. Adding to the list, a new report has revealed that X is now working on yet another premium feature called Enhanced Discovery. It can be used to check similar or related features.

In a significant move to address child sexual exploitation online, the Australian eSafety Commissioner has levied a fine against X, a prominent microblogging platform backed by Elon Musk. X has been ordered to pay a fine of $610,500 AUD (about $384,000 USD) due to its failure to provide critical information regarding the detection, removal, and prevention of child sexual abuse material. In addition to this, Google has also received a formal warning from the authorities for similar non-disclosure.

Since Elon Musk hollowed out Twitter's staffing, pushed services behind a paywall and renamed it X, many users have been thrashing around for an alternative social media platform.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating how Twitter Inc. managed a 2018 security lapse that exposed personal user information before billionaire Elon Musk bought the social media platform last year. The agency has been scrutinizing whether the former top executives failed to adequately disclose those privacy issues to shareholders or put in place proper controls, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified discussing a confidential investigation. A bug on the social media platform had let outsiders view user email addresses during password resets, which revealed the identity of users, said one of the people.

X (formerly Twitter) has now added a new feature, which is being deemed controversial by a section of the users. The Elon Musk-owned social media platform now lets users restrict the replies to a post to only those who are verified by X, meaning they have the $7.99 monthly subscription. At the moment, X has not made it the default option, and ‘everyone can reply' is still set as default unless the user changes it. Some users are calling this feature a ‘paywall' to reply to posts, something which is considered a basic feature for social media platforms.

Elon Musk was sued by the U.S. securities regulator related to his takeover of Twitter, the latest court battle against the billionaire whose empire spans electric carmaker Tesla, space startup SpaceX and brain-chip startup Neuralink.

In an official announcement on Friday, the government of India has served notices to three major social media platforms, namely X (formerly known as Twitter), YouTube, and Telegram, with the directive to promptly eliminate any child sexual abuse material found on their platforms within the country. Rajiv Chandrasekhar, the Minister of State for Electronics and IT, issued a stern warning, stating that if these social media intermediaries fail to take swift action, they risk losing their safe harbor protection provided under section 79 of the IT Act. This warning implies that these platforms could potentially face direct prosecution under applicable laws and regulations, even if they are not the ones responsible for uploading such illicit content.

X (formerly Twitter) has begun testing three different tiers of its proposed premium subscription. The information came from the company CEO Linda Yaccarino in a meeting with debt holders as she updated the bankers about the finances and revenue of X, as per a report. It was also highlighted that the testing was done to increase the revenue collection from the subscription funnel. Additionally, X also stated during the meeting that the advertisers are returning back to the platform, although with smaller budgets.

A new survey has revealed some shocking information about employee approvals for their CEOs in the tech space. According to its results, 83 percent of the employees approve of the work Tim Cook is doing as the CEO of Apple. On the other hand, X chief Linda Yaccarino found herself among the lowest-ranked tech CEOs with an approval rating of just 4 percent. That means, only four out of one hundred employees thought of her work as the head of the company as significant or to have a positive impact.

X (formerly Twitter) has added another change to the iOS app version of its platform which might frustrate many users. The app has stopped showing headlines on the articles and other pages shared via URL to the platform in some regions. This means when a user shares a URL, it will only show the lead image of the web page and the domain name. As a result, users who follow Twitter accounts of news outlets and individuals who share the same will now face a tough time understanding what the content is about. Reports reveal that this change has directly come from company owner Elon Musk.

Social media platform X is partnering with Paris Hilton and her digital ad agency 11:11 Media as it seeks new revenue and to redefine the platform formerly known as Twitter. X will work with Hilton to create original video content on fashion, beauty, travel and other topics, the company announced Monday. Hilton, an American media personality and socialite, will also help promote the launch of X's new products and services.

Former Twitter Trust and Safety Head, Yoel Roth, who resigned last year after a run-in with billionaire owner Elon Musk, has issued a stark warning to X (formerly Twitter) about its precarious position concerning the European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA) as well as its safety policies. Speaking at the recent Code Conference 2023, Roth, was interviewed by Kara Swisher. Roth highlighted X's withdrawal from the EU's Code of Practice on Disinformation in May and cited Commissioner Vera Jourova's accusation that the platform is a major disinformation spreader. Roth believes that a confrontation with EU regulators is now inevitable, given the DSA's severe penalties of up to 6% of global annual turnover for breaches. However, while that issue is still simmering, what really caught the eye was the poignant and stark reminder of what happened to Roth after the run-ins with Musk, including death threats that even forced him to sell his house and move in order to stay safe. Roth said these death threats were "inspired by the company's leader".

Billionaire Elon Musk, known for his online presence on X (formerly Twitter), is asking the general public, anyone with a smartphone, to make waves on the microblogging platform and thereby change the world for the better. Musk wants everyone to know that X is no longer just about text, that it's evolving into an all-in-one solution for users, covering everything from social media to banking.

Over the last 12 months, X (formerly Twitter) has undergone a multitude of changes. Elon Musk's acquisition of the microblogging platform has spurred controversy from day 1, with people calling measures such as the removal of verification, and temporarily limiting tweet views draconian. After managing the company as the CEO for a while, Musk appointed Linda Yaccarino as his successor. This change hasn't really moved people's opinions about the Musk-owned company, as its rival Threads soared in popularity as soon as it was launched by Meta. 

Elon Musk's X was cited as the biggest outlet for peddlers of disinformation as the European Union urged Silicon Valley platforms to step up their vigilance to combat Russia's “war of ideas.” European Commission Vice President Vera Jourova said platforms need to act ahead of national and European elections over the next year. “This is a multi-million euro weapon of mass manipulation aimed both internally at the Russians as well as Europeans and the rest of the world,” Jourova told reporters Tuesday.

Just a year after rolling out Circles, a feature that lets you tweet or post selectively to only a select group of friends or colleagues without letting the whole world see it, X (formerly Twitter) has decided to shut it down. The Circles feature was initially in the test phase from May 2022 with a limited number of users on iOS, Android, and the web having access to it, and was rolled out to the public in August. And now, surprisingly, the Elon Musk-owned platform announced its decision to shut down Circles on Thursday. This latest move is part of the myriad of changes that the platform has gone through in the last few months, ranging from the removal of Twitter Blue and rebranding to X.

Bluesky is a decentralized social app that was launched this year as an alternative to X (formerly Twitter). The app was co-founded by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. Notably, since Musk's takeover of Twitter, whenever he says something shocking, it sparks an exodus of users from his platform to rivals like Bluesky. This has happened again. The app on September 19, 2023, saw a massive spike in new user signup after Musk made a shocking comment about making X a paid-only app for everyone. It immediately saw Bluesky log a fantastic new record of the most signups in a day on the portal. While it is not clear what caused the increase in users in a single day, but the comment might have had an impact on users' minds. Know how many new users joined X competitor Bluesky.

I've had a running joke on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter for a while, though I don't think it's all that funny anymore. Frankly, it probably never was. It goes like this: Whenever Elon Musk does something obviously repulsive to his customers — that's advertisers — I declare it “another great weekend” for X Corp. Chief Executive Officer Linda Yaccarino and her efforts to bring back ad revenue.

Elon Musk has suggested charging all users of his social media platform X, which would be the biggest shake-up since he took over the site then known as Twitter last October, but experts say he might struggle to get users on board.

Elon Musk picked Linda Yaccarino to be chief executive officer of X, the company formerly known as Twitter, with hope that the former NBC Universal executive would convince advertisers who had stopped spending on the site to return. But so far, many major brands are remaining on the sidelines, and have already planned to deploy their budgets elsewhere during the holiday season — historically the most lucrative period for ad revenue.

Elon Musk's X Corp. has agreed to try to settle claims by thousands of former Twitter employees who say they were cheated of severance pay, according to a memo by a lawyer for the workers seen by Bloomberg News.

The social media platform X owned by billionaire Elon Musk, has again made the headlines for the wrong reasons - this time for not taking corrective action against hateful posts present on the app. Experts revealed about 300 hate speech posts that violated the company's content policy, but X took no action against them. It was reported that X had previously sued the organization called Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) for sharing misinformation.

Arguably the most famous social media app, it is always in the news, Twitter, which is now called X is facing major popularity problems in terms of number of downloads. Ever since Elon Musk has become part of the app, it has seen some major improvements in terms of active users, however, after two months of rebranding, the app has faced the lowest downloads in a decade and these have fallen by 30 percent in just 60 days. This may not come as a surprise to Musk as over the past few months, the app has been going through many changes and the impact is seen in the decline in downloads rather than an uptick he may have been hoping for.

Elon Musk's X Corp.on Friday sued the state of California over a law requiring social media companies to publicly post their policies regarding hate speech, disinformation, harassment and extremism.

X is making significant changes to its terms of service, and it wants you to start saying "post" instead of "tweet" while referring to the updates you add on your handle. These new terms will become effective on September 29th. One noticeable change is replacing the word "retweet" with "repost," which essentially marks the end of the era of using the term "tweet."

Since Elon Musk's takeover of X (formerly Twitter), the microblogging platform has undergone a myriad of changes. From initial mass layoffs, and removal of verification, to limiting the number of tweets you can read and then rebranding to X, all of this has taken place in the span of less than a year. Several users have been averse to some of Musk's draconian measures, and have been searching for alternative platforms to share their thoughts on. This has resulted in the emergence of other microblogging platforms such as Bluesky Social, Spill, and most recently Instagram's Threads.

Advertising revenue on X Corp., the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, is still down 60%, “primarily due to pressure on advertisers” mounted by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), owner Elon Musk said in a series of posts Monday.

Community notes is the moderation tool that Elon Musk has promoted as the way for Twitter users to police the platform now called X for misinformation, but it has disappointed experts and irritated politicians over corrections judged abusive.

In a surprising turn of events, Elon Musk came to the rescue of his longtime friend and Oracle co-founder, Larry Ellison, when Ellison found himself locked out of his X (formerly Twitter) account due to a forgotten password. This act of friendship unfolded as Ellison pledged a whopping $1 billion towards Musk's ambitious $44 billion takeover of Twitter, which has since been rebranded as "X."

After recently announcing the new feature of audio and video call support to X (formerly Twitter), now the platform is working on a feature specifically for creators that will give them the freedom to leave the platform whenever they want without losing their subscribers. Yes, while most social media platforms add features with higher engagement in mind, X is doing the opposite here. This new feature will allow those users who subscribe to a creator to choose to share their email account to enable them to contact and communicate even when they're not using the platform. Company owner Elon Musk said that it will let them know that they are not trapped on the platform.

X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk has been announcing new features on the platform on almost a weekly basis, in a bid to turn it into an ‘everything app'. Just last week, X Hiring, a feature that allows organizations to post job listings on their profile, was being rolled out to users. Now, Musk has announced yet another new feature for the platform — audio and video calls. While in-app calling is not a revolutionary feature in 2023, X has always stayed away from it even when rival apps added the functionality. But finally, the microblogging platform has also added the feature.

If you use Apple products, there could be a change in how you get help with the problems you are encountering. It might become harder to tell Apple about issues you are facing through social media platforms like X and YouTube.

Ever since Elon Musk took over Twitter, the social media app has never left the headlines over some controversy or the other. We all have witnessed the big transformation of the app from Twitter to “X” and now the app is going through several changes, tweaks and improvements to fully make it a Musk brand. Just like any post on the X app can go viral in a few minutes, any old tweet can be picked out and manipulated to make it seem relevant. Therefore, you must know how you can clear your history in the X app to avoid giving life to old controversies that can harm you.

The rebranding of X (formerly Twitter) was likely the hastiest exercise of its kind ever undertaken. The entire process took three days and involved crowd-sourcing a logo, taking off all physical and digital logos of Larry the Bird and replacing it with the new logo, and even adding a gigantic X on top of the company's San Francisco headquarters. However, such a rapid rebranding often comes with some unexpected consequences, and in this case, it was a lack of spreading awareness towards the new name and logo. As a result, the weekly active users as well as the app ranking on both Play Store and App Store took a big hit. But surprisingly, Twitter Lite emerged as an unexpected winner in all this chaos.

A few months ago, X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk revealed that he wanted to rebuild the video interface of the platform and make it more immersive. Company CEO Linda Yaccarino has also highlighted the need to build a good video deck on the platform. And probably that's why the microblogging platform has received a number of video features in the last few months. In fact, compared to 2022, the video deck of X is entirely different. So, what was added, and how has it changed? Let us take a look.

In the early hours of August 26, X (formerly Twitter) took another step towards its aim of becoming the ‘everything app' as it announced early access to its new feature called X Hiring (Beta) for verified organizations. These organizations will now be able to post job listings on the platform and reach out to candidates. Interestingly, with the hiring element added to X, it now competes with LinkedIn and other similar apps that revolve in the same space. While companies on X have always interacted and engaged with their followers, this gives them the opportunity to find the right candidate from a large pool.

Meta Platforms Inc., Google and X, formerly known as Twitter, will need to adhere to strict new content moderation rules in the European Union when a new law governing social media platforms becomes legally enforceable from Friday.

Just days ago, reports highlighted that billionaire Elon Musk intended to remove headlines from link previews on X (formerly Twitter) to make the height of the preview box smaller. But that does not mean that he wants these users and organizations to stop using the platform. In fact, Musk has been openly asking journalists and news organizations to become a part of the platform and participate in news sharing to begin earning money from X's revenue-sharing program. But with no option to share headlines in links, it might be that the billionaire is setting things up for original, or direct, reporting on the social media site - scribes are being encouraged to post directly on X.

Rebranding exercises are complicated. While the actual name and logo change is the easy part, acclimatizing consumers to the new brand identity is the difficult bit. Recently, we saw Google attempt this when it decided to merge Google Duo with Meet, making them the same app. For months, Google kept both apps available even when it opened in a common interface. Then, it slowly began notifying users about the shift and the eventual merger took place. On the other hand, we have X (formerly Twitter) which completed its entire rebranding process in three days. And a report now reveals that it may have resulted in a hit to the app's download numbers.

It has been almost a week since Elon Musk made a tweet declaring he will delete the blocking feature on Twitter (now X), and it led to users debating it and many claiming that it will make the social media experience unsafe. But while Twitter decides to take away users' right to block others, Twitch is taking the exact opposite approach. According to reports, it is getting a new feature that will allow streamers to totally block users to the extent that they cannot even watch their streams.

X (formerly known as Twitter) has been going through a multitude of changes lately, with billionaire owner Elon Musk imposing some draconian measures on the platform. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO on Friday revealed that the blocking feature will be deleted on the platform, reiterating his previous belief that “Blocking public posts makes no sense. It needs to be deprecated in favor of a stronger form of mute”. Now, the microblogging platform is reportedly set to get another controversial feature in the form of a government ID that will be required for verification. It will please the users even less.

It appears that the ‘block' is not the only Twitter (now X) feature whose future is in jeopardy. After expressing his views on how blocking users is pointless and suggesting he may take away this feature, company owner Elon Musk is targetting the headlines on link previews, as per reports. At present, a large number of news organizations share their articles on X. While sharing the articles, the platform generates a link preview that contains the image, URL, headline, and a short summary. But soon, the headline might be gone to reduce the height of the preview window.

X (formerly known as Twitter) has been going through a myriad of transformations ever since Elon Musk announced his acquisition of the microblogging platform. Several key changes have been brought on that have changed the platform experience for most users. The Musk-owned platform also recently underwent a major rebranding campaign where its iconic Larry The Bird logo was replaced with an X, while also changing its name to the same. In the last few months, X has also suffered from various disruptions, such as temporary restrictions placed on unverified accounts, discontinuing browsing access for users without accounts, and more.

Right after X (formerly known as Twitter) owner Elon Musk tweeted that the block feature will be deleted from the platform yesterday, it sparked outrage. Many came forward expressing their displeasure with the decision and urged Musk to reconsider his stance. Something else happened right about this time as well. X rival Bluesky suffered an outage and many users reported that the server load time was excessively high. Some reports are now suggesting that there might be a correlation between the two.

Elon Musk made a shocking comment on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Friday when he said that ‘block' as a feature will be deleted on the platform. That means users will not be able to block any other user on the platform, no matter if they spam or troll. The billionaire is known for his dislike of general social networking features, and he has repeatedly expressed his feelings about it. However, getting rid of the blocking feature might not be that easy, even for the owner of one of the largest social media platforms.

Nearly half the environmentalists active on Twitter, now X, left the platform in the 6-months following Musk's takeover, researchers found and say this could have serious implications for public discourse surrounding issues such as biodiversity, climate change, and natural disaster recovery.

Social media app TweetDeck began going behind a paywall on Tuesday, with users of platform X, formerly known as Twitter, being diverted to a paid-subscription sign-up page when they tried to access it.

Billionaire Elon Musk has been dominating the headlines this week due to his antics around the ‘big fight' with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg that is just not refusing to get finalized and both men are blaming each other for the delay. However, the X (formerly Twitter) owner has reportedly found himself in another fight (the non-physical type), and this time it is with New York University's Professor Scott Galloway. The professor is also an author, public speaker, and the owner of an X account with a massive 560,000 followers. However, recently the professor has made some shocking allegations against Musk.

Social media company X, formerly known as Twitter, delayed access to links to content on the Reuters and New York Times websites as well as rivals like Bluesky, Facebook and Instagram, according to a Washington Post report on Tuesday.

People across the world are waking up to a new development on X (formerly Twitter) as many users have begun reporting that they are getting a paywall when trying to access TweetDeck, the dashboard application for managing multiple accounts of the microblogging site. The paywall is essentially a pop-up window that asks users to buy X Premium (previously Twitter Blue) subscriptions in order to be able to use the service. With TweetDeck being one of the most useful tools for businesses to regulate their posting cycles and engage with their followers, this new move is going to add a new business cost.

Have you ever noticed that little blue checkmark next to people's names on X (formerly Twitter)? It used to be something only famous folks, like politicians and celebrities, had while others had to wait a long time. These are verified accounts and is a way to show that their tweets were from the legitimate sources. But guess what? Now, anyone can get that blue checkmark! You don't have to be a superstar to have it. It will cost you.

Twitter underwent a massive rebranding exercise recently to change its name and logo to X. The company replaced the logos on the website and the apps as well as its own headquarters. Names were changed of all the associate products such as Twitter Blue subscription became X Blue subscription and TweetDeck became XPro. But it appears that the transition is not complete yet. According to reports, some users have observed that the URLs generated from the share sheet of the X app on iOS start with X.com instead of the familiar twitter.com. So far the change has only been seen in the iPhone OS and both web links and the Android app continue to show the usual domain. But that can also change in the near future.

In an arresting move that looks like the rest of the signature moves by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, iconic Twitter artifacts have been put on the block. Musk is set to auction off an array of intriguing items from Twitter, just weeks after the platform's transformation into "X." This unique auction, entitled "Twitter Rebranding: Online Auction Featuring Memorabilia, Art, Office Assets & More!" is slated to showcase an astounding 584 lots of captivating treasures, including not just the expected office assets, but also coffee tables, remarkable bird cages, and art that once went viral.

On July 29, X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk rolled out Ads Revenue Sharing, a program that will share a portion of the money the company makes from the advertisers from the impressions on posts and profiles, back with the community and the content creators of the platform. Over the days, users in the US and Europe have been sharing screenshots of emails from the company telling them the amount they will receive soon. Now, yesterday, Indian creators finally began receiving similar emails, and many of them took to the microblogging platform to share screenshots of the amount they have been earning off the platform.

As the war of words between Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter owner Elon Musk over the ‘fight' intensifies, both are also battling another war of retaining the users on the platform. Just last week, Threads announced that it will soon bring search and web support to the platform, and now it seems X (formerly Twitter) is also adding quality-of-life features to ensure a higher time spent. A designer working with the company shared a post recently teasing a new feature that can soon be available. This feature will add new sorting options to see tweets on the profile tab. Instead of the current chronological-only tab, users will also get options to sort them by most liked and most engaged with posts.

Larry The Bird is dead! Billionaire Elon Musk has ensured that by ruthlessly replacing it with the current X logo. However, even as millions of Twitter users (X), mourn its passing, World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), is has used the opportunity in a brilliant way to promote its own agenda - wildlife conservation. WWF Germany has compared the passing of the Twitter bird logo with that of the deaths of countless millions of species on earth due to the changes in the environment wrought by humanity. In reality, the extinction of species that is currently going on at a furious pace has been likened and ccompared to the one that happened during and in the aftermath of the asteroid strike 65 million years ago that caused the demise of the dinosaurs.

After introducing a feature to hide the Blue tick, X CEO Elon Musk has come up with a Live video feature.

Microblogging site Twitter (now X Corp) has approached the High Court of Karnataka against the earlier order of a single judge bench which had dismissed its petition challenging the Centre's blocking orders.

X (formerly known as Twitter) has been working hard to make its premium subscription X Blue appear more alluring to boost the subscriber count. Recently, it added features such as unlimited DMs, potential participation in the platform's ad revenue sharing, and access to XPro (TweetDeck). Now, adding to the already long list of benefits, owner Elon Musk announced on Thursday that verified users will also be able to download videos on the microblogging platform. However, there are some restrictions to this feature, which have been likely added to give creators more power.

X owner Elon Musk wrote a long post urging users to support the creators on its social media platform by subscribing to them. The microblogging platform recently added a new feature to support content creators where users can subscribe to an account for bonus content, a ‘subscribed' badge, and even exclusive Spaces interactions. In the post, Musk said that the company has decided not to take any commission from the revenue generated through subscriptions to creators for the first 12 months and thereafter till a $100K payout has been reached. After that, it will only take 10 percent. The billionaire also said that he will speak with Apple CEO Tim Cook about the App Store fee structure to see if it can be adjusted to maximize creator revenue.

Social media platform X is seeking to quash a court ruling that it was not compliant with government orders to remove content, arguing it could embolden New Delhi to block more content and broaden the scope for censorship.

Elon Musk has been trying to make X (formerly known as Twitter) appealing to advertisers again. In the last few weeks, he has rebranded the company, promised to turn X into an everything app, is working towards bringing a new video feed, started ad revenue sharing for verified users, and is adding new features to its X Blue subscription (formerly Twitter Blue subscription). The latest addition to the stack is a new toggle button that will allow users to show or hide the verification checkmark, which is also known as the ‘blue tick'.

Twitter's rebranding exercise is complete and the platform is now known as X. But owner Elon Musk is not done yet. After renaming the social media platform, he is now renaming all the associated assets of the platform as well. Twitter Blue has already become Blue, and there were some reports that tweets can be renamed as ‘posts' after some users briefly saw the name change on the platform on Monday. Now, the latest victim of the renaming exercise is TweetDeck, the dashboard application for managing multiple accounts of the microblogging site. TweetDeck is going to be renamed to XPro, and the new branding has begun appearing in some places, including the top of the landing page.

Elon Musk's social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) recently underwent rebranding and the app is still making new changes with each day passing. The changes created problems for other companies like Apple about how exactly to treat these changes. Earlier, it was reported that Apple might remove the Twitter app from the App Store, but now it seems like misunderstandings have been cleared. Apple has, in fact, given Musk special treatment by allowing him to change Twitter's name to the single character “X” and these changes can be seen on iPhones and iPads now.

X's (formerly known as Twitter) rebranding celebrations were cut short after just a week when the giant X logo atop the company's headquarters in San Francisco was seen being removed. The logo, which was erected rapidly after the new brand name and the logo was announced by company owner Elon Musk, had become an eyesore for many local residents and officials who filed complaints with the city, as per a report. With the logo being removed, it is not known whether it will be replaced with a different one or not.
