Tweets are becoming history, new name revealed

X will release new terms of service on September 29, and when that happens, tweets will officially go away. Tweets are becoming history, and we know a new name X will use.

Tweets are becoming history, as X will use a new name for them

Based on the information revealed by the new terms of service (via The Verge), tweets will become posts. Needless to say, that’s a very generic change. Not many people liked the fact Twitter name was removed, and the same will likely be the case with tweets.

Tweets have become a recognized term around the globe, everyone knows what they are. Elon Musk decided to kill the entire branding of Twitter, mainly due to the shift in focus. He wants Twitter to be the ‘everything app’, inspired by China’s WeChat.

Now, tweets will become posts, what about retweets? Well, you guessed it, those will be called reposts. This is basically the final nail in the Twitter coffin, as far as the naming scheme is concerned, of course.

Twitter became X not long ago

As many of you know by now, Twitter name was replaced with X. Elon Musk changed the entire branding to fulfill his goals. Many new features are coming to X, including payments, job hiring aspect, and much more.

As already mentioned, Elon Musk wants X to become the ‘everything app’, and it will offer plenty of features in order to get there. He wants people to stay glued to X, as people are to WeChat in China.

The whole process will take time, of course. The aforementioned additions are on the way, and will probably be added soon, but many other features are planned down the road. We don’t have all the specifics yet, of course.

Elon Musk paid a lot of money to acquire Twitter, so he can do with it as he pleases, of course. He seems to be convinced this branding change, and a shift in focus will make the business prosper, so… we’ll see.
