X is a social media platform that allows users to share and interact with short-form content known as posts. Originally launched in 2006 as Twitter, it became popular for its real-time updates and character-limited messages, facilitating quick communication and public discussions. After being acquired by Elon Musk in 2022, the platform was rebranded to X and is evolving into an "everything app" that aims to include features beyond social networking, such as payments and audio/video communication. Users can follow accounts, reply to posts, share media, and engage with trending topics through hashtags. X differentiates itself from competitors by its focus on becoming a comprehensive platform for various digital interactions, not just social networking. The goal of X is to create a versatile space for communication, news sharing, and personal expression, while also connecting public figures and organizations directly with their audiences.
