Twitter officially launched to the public on July 15, 2006, following a soft launch period of several months. The platform was later rebranded as X after being acquired by Elon Musk.
Over its two decades of operation, Twitter became a significant platform for memes, social movements, and public discourse. The service established itself as a space where users could share brief messages, reactions, and commentary on current events and cultural moments.
The acquisition and subsequent rebranding to X represented a major transition for the social media platform that had shaped digital communication and information sharing for millions of users worldwide.
