The incident, which took place on Sunday, January 11, caused users to see the handle accompanied by a bold “Account Suspended” notification on a black screen, without any information regarding the particular rules violated or the length of the suspension.

The change has caused a lot of confusion and a sense of longing among users, as Elon Musk renamed Twitter to X in July 2023, about six months after he bought the service for $44 billion at the end of 2022.

The @Twitter account has been inactive since prior to Musk’s acquisition, acting as a leftover from the platform’s initial branding, and its suspension seems to signify the end of the Twitter name as X continues to fight against spam, fake accounts, and policy breaches.

X’s official statement regarding the suspended page only states: “X suspends accounts that breach our policies,” without providing a means for appeal or additional details, in contrast to typical account suspensions.

Public responses on social media varied from funny comments about “RIP Twitter” to theories that the action was due to automated moderation or an intentional removal of old trademarks.

Elon Musk’s XAI’s Grok AI referred to it as a deliberate phase-out of obsolete components, not an actual violation, with neither Musk nor X representatives providing any statement as of Monday morning.

This event highlights the changing nature of the platform since it came under Musk’s control, a period also marked by a move to x.com in 2024, which has increased its separation from its original Twitter heritage.

Industry analysts point out that although the suspension corresponds to X’s more rigorous enforcement strategies, the absence of clarity has sparked discussions about the uniformity of rule application for well-known older accounts.
