Recently, social media has experienced rapid changes. Twitter has now been renamed to X.com, and users are being redirected to that site. This change goes beyond just a name change and significantly impacts user experience and platform functionality.

The AI chatbot Grok, released by Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI, is also gaining attention. The latest model, Grok-2, includes image generation capabilities, offering intriguing possibilities for social media users. However, this innovation also comes with a lot of controversy. Grok’s wider range of content generation capabilities could raise ethical and legal issues. This article explores the controversies and social implications arising from the transformation of X.com and the details of the Grok chatbot.

2. Transformation of X.com and Twitter

X.com is the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. In 2023, the platform was redirected to X.com to refresh the brand and strengthen its direction. Users now access X.com instead of Twitter, which is a strategy aligned with the multimedia communication era.
