I saw rumors of this a few weeks ago but didn't think anything of it. Is the domain changing too? Part of this the Comcast to Xfinity move, rebranding to drop association, I think. But Twitter's brand wasn't that bad so I don't know.
x.com already redirects to twitter. I suspect that will be changed to the other way around soon enough (twitter redirecting to x)
WTF did Elon even bring to PayPal when he merged with Confinity if he still has control over the x.com URL and name? It certainly wasn't competent leadership.
Myabe he managed to hire well or something?
He bought the domain back later, actually.
Knowing him, he'll forget to remove the first redirect
