First tweet marks 20 years amid platform changes

Twenty years ago, Jack Dorsey posted the inaugural tweet, marking the beginning of Twitter, now known as X. The platform has undergone significant transformations under Elon Musk's ownership, including a renaming and integration into his xAI venture. Musk's tenure has been characterized by substantial workforce reductions and the controversial introduction of the Grok chatbot, which faced criticism for generating inappropriate content. Despite facing competition from emerging platforms like Bluesky and Meta's Threads, which may have surpassed X in daily mobile users, X maintains a dedicated user base within the tech industry. Dorsey's original tweet, once sold as an NFT for millions, has seen its value drastically decline.
