The platform’s official name and consumer brand are now X.

The Claim

The social media platform formerly named Twitter is still officially called Twitter rather than X.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

Official records and current platform listings establish that the service was renamed X in 2023 and is operated by X Corp. “Twitter” remains widely used informally and appears in legacy legal names, trademarks, and “formerly Twitter” descriptions, but those remnants do not make it the platform’s current official name.

Caveats

  • Widespread informal use of “Twitter” should not be confused with official branding.
  • Legacy corporate names and retained TWITTER trademarks do not determine the platform’s current name.
  • The platform brand and the legal name of its operating company are distinct, though both now use X.
