Hyderabad: Several social media users have claimed that tweets will be called ‘Xeets,’ now that Twitter has been rebranded as X.
According to the viral post, a tweet will now be officially called a ‘Xeet,’ according to X’s new Help Centre page. The viral post also attached a screenshot from the supposed webpage that tells you ‘How to Xeet?’ The same screenshot was also shared on Facebook.
The Internet is abuzz after Twitter was formally changed to X on July 23, 2023. Since then, a lot of developments have been done to the app.
Fact Check
NewsMeter found that the claim is false.
We started our investigation by visiting the Help page of X to see if the screenshot is authentic. We found that some changes have been made but the page doesn’t match the viral screenshot. The information on the Help Centre page of X still says ‘How to Tweet' and not ‘How to Xeet.’
Also, we could not find any such announcement by Elon Musk or any credible media organisation announcing the word ‘Xeet.’
A comparison image can be seen below.
Hence, it is clear that the original webpage was doctored to create the fake viral screenshot.
