    Twitter has one of the worst search engines I’ve ever seen. They changed the URL to x and I wanted to see what people are saying. But if you look up the word “Twitter” you’re hit with a bunch of random shit with a lot of likes. If you look up Twitter URL, all the comments are Japanese, Indian, Russian. I guess it’s designed that way; you’re not meant to find the stuff Elon doesn’t want you to see like the original site name.

      For a brief time they introduced a comical URL switch issue. They wanted all things that contained twitter.com to be shown as x.com. But they did that terribly. So if someone registered a domain like for example “netflitwitter.com” and put a fake Netflix login page on it, then posted a tweet with their link, it would be displayed as netflix.com but redirect you to the phishing site
