X, owned by Elon Musk, has suspended Twitter’s official account, replacing its profile with a standard notice stating that the account violated platform rules.
Users searching for the @Twitter handle on Sunday were met with a bold notification reading “Account Suspended.” According to the message displayed on the page, X said the account was suspended for breaking its rules, though it did not specify which rules were violated or how long the suspension would last.
The move has sparked widespread confusion online, especially given that the platform was formerly known as Twitter before Musk rebranded it to X in July 2023—about six months after acquiring the company for $44 billion.
Many users expressed surprise at seeing the legacy Twitter account suspended on the very platform that replaced it, reigniting conversations around the rebrand, platform governance, and transparency in content moderation.
