X is the future state of unlimited interactivity – centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities. Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we’re just beginning to imagine.

As a guy who has had a private email ABOUT me between two Twitter executives leaked during the Twitter Files fiasco because the new owner of this site falsely believed in an insane conspiracy theory... let's just say I do not recommend giving this company your banking info.

If anyone out there is writing a book about this particular era of the company, the title "Twitter History X" is just sitting there.
