"X on Sunday suspended Twitter's account in a move that deleted at least temporarily the account that sports the social platform's old name. Elon Musk famously changed the name from Twitter to X in July 2023, about six months after he bought the app for $44 billion. Users who looked for the @Twitter handle on Sunday were greeted with a bold notification saying Account Suspended. The handle was suspended for violating X's rules, according to the notification, and a link to the rules was included."
"Musk explained the name change in '23, saying The Twitter name made sense when it was just 140 character messages going back and forth like birds tweeting but now you can post almost anything, including several hours of video. X has also been a go-to letter for Musk over the years. Musk was the CEO of X.com back in the late '90s before it was renamed PayPal, and he currently runs two other companies that feature X in the name SpaceX and xAI."
X suspended the @Twitter account on Sunday, temporarily removing the handle that previously identified the platform. The suspension notice stated the account violated X's rules and linked to those rules but did not specify which rule was broken. Users who visited the handle saw a bold "Account Suspended" notification. A representative for X did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and Musk did not mention the suspension on his personal account. Musk renamed Twitter to X in July 2023 after acquiring the app and has used the letter X across multiple ventures. Many X users reacted with amusement to the suspension, and Musk has recently resumed a public friendship with President Donald Trump.
