On Monday, it appears X attempted to encourage users to cease referring to it as Twitter and instead adopt the name X. Some users began noticing that posts viewed via X for iOS were changing any references of "Twitter.com" to "X.com" automatically.

If a user typed in "Twitter.com," they would see "Twitter.com" as they typed it before hitting "Post." But, after submitting, the platform would show "X.com" in its place on the X for iOS app, without the user's permission, for everyone viewing the post.

And shortly after this revelation, it became clear that there was another big issue: X was changing anything ending in "Twitter.com" to "X.com."

Prob too many references to twitter.com in their code or whatever to fix or something similar?

    find -type f -exec sed -i 's/twitter.com/x.com/g' {}\;

    Take a backup first in case it breaks something, which it most likely will.

    I don't really know code but he has that curvy line and some different colors and shit so this should work. Ship it. No need to test.
