X

X is a social media platform operating at twitter.com, formerly known as Twitter, that enables users to post and interact with short-form content called posts (previously tweets). The service is used by individuals, businesses, journalists, celebrities, and public figures to share text, images, video, and links in real time. Its core feed structure is built around following accounts, retweeting or reposting content, replying, and liking, creating fast-moving public conversations around news, culture, and current events. The platform includes features such as direct messaging, live audio spaces, trending topics, and a verification system tied to paid subscriptions through X Premium. Under Elon Musk's ownership, the company has expanded beyond messaging into areas like payments and long-form content, positioning itself as a broader digital public square rather than solely a microblogging service.
