X, formerly known as Twitter, is one of the world's most popular social media platforms, allowing users to post and engage with short messages (previously called "tweets"). After being acquired by Elon Musk in 2022, the platform underwent major changes in branding, structure, and features, eventually being rebranded as X.

 

 

Key Features of X:

 

1. Posts & Interactions

  • Users can post text, images, videos, and links.
  • They can like, repost (formerly retweet), and reply to posts.
  • The platform now supports longer posts, unlike the previous Twitter character limits.

 

2. X Premium (Formerly Twitter Blue)

  • With the X Premium subscription, users can get a blue checkmark.
  • Premium features include editing posts, accessing exclusive content, and reduced ads.

 

3. Long Videos & Multimedia Content

  • Unlike the old Twitter, X allows users to upload long-form videos.
  • Some users can monetize their content through ad revenue sharing.

 

4. Direct Messages (DMs) & Calls

  • Direct messages (DMs) are now end-to-end encrypted.
  • Users can make voice and video calls without needing a phone number.

 

5. Smart Content Recommendation Algorithm

  • X uses an advanced recommendation system to display posts tailored to user interests.
  • The For You feed highlights content based on user engagement.

 

6. Financial Tools & Payment System

  • Elon Musk envisions X as an "everything app", incorporating financial services.
  • Future updates may include peer-to-peer payments and online purchases.

 

7. X’s Expanding Ecosystem

  • Communities allow users to engage in topic-based discussions.
  • Live streaming is supported for better audience interaction.
  • X Spaces, an audio-based discussion feature similar to Clubhouse.

 

Why Is X Different?

Elon Musk sees X as more than just a social media platform, aiming to turn it into a super app integrating communication, financial transactions, and content creation. With ongoing updates and new policies, X continues to evolve, receiving mixed reactions from users.
