Elon Musk’s social media platform is apparently changing any mention of <a href="/topics/twitter/">Twitter</a> to <a href="/topics/xcom/">X</a> on the mobile version of the app.&nbsp;

Users noticed on Monday that <a href="/topics/twittercom/">Twitter</a>.com in a user’s post would immediately be replaced with <a href="/topics/xcom/">X.com.</a>&nbsp;

Neither <a href="/topics/xcom/">X</a> nor Mr. <a href="/topics/elon-musk/">Musk</a> has commented on the shift.&nbsp;

The change affects only mobile users, with mentions of <a href="/topics/twittercom/">Twitter</a>.com on <a href="/topics/xcom/">X</a>’s desktop application appearing normal. The change is also case-sensitive, so some users who post&nbsp;<a href="/topics/twittercom/">TWITTER.COM</a>&nbsp;won’t see an alteration.&nbsp;

Some users pointed out that the change affected older posts as well, back from when the app was called <a href="/topics/twitter/">Twitter</a>.&nbsp;

Mr. <a href="/topics/elon-musk/">Musk</a> changed the name to <a href="/topics/xcom/">X</a> last summer.&nbsp;
