Elon Musk's X platform is a new social media platform that he acquired and rebranded from Twitter in October 2022. Musk has said that he wants to turn X into an "everything app," a one-stop shop for messaging, entertainment, and banking. He has also hinted at adding features such as live streaming, e-commerce, and cryptocurrency payments.
X is still in its early stages of development, but Musk has already made some changes to the platform. He has added a new dark mode, changed the logo by letting go the popular blue bird and made many more changes to the social media platform.
