On Monday, it appears X attempted to encourage users to cease referring to it as Twitter and instead adopt the name X. Some [users](https://twitter.com/t3dotgg/status/1777425000133468582 "(opens in a new window)") began [noticing](https://twitter.com/___frye/status/1777432913497465082 "(opens in a new window)") that posts [viewed](https://twitter.com/__justplaying/status/1777433986500853845 "(opens in a new window)") via X for iOS were [changing](https://twitter.com/luzfic/status/1777417205992562873 "(opens in a new window)") any [references](https://twitter.com/Arcticstar0/status/1777554091604103486 "(opens in a new window)") 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."

      There is that (probably untrue) theory that the main reason he bought Twitter was because at the time, Twitter wouldn’t ban the ElonJet tracking account. Were that the case, it would kinda/sorta make sense that he’s want to kill the platform.
