PANews, March 22: According to cnBeta, on March 21, 2006, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey posted the platform’s first tweet, "just setting up my twttr," marking exactly 20 years since its publication. This tweet has been archived by the Computer History Museum and holds a standalone entry in the Guinness World Records; its NFT version sold for approximately $2.9 million in 2021, further cementing its status as an internet historical artifact. Since then, Twitter has undergone significant transformations: after being acquired by Elon Musk, it was rebranded as X; X was subsequently integrated into xAI, which in turn became part of SpaceX. Today, X still maintains strong influence among core user groups such as the tech industry, but faces growing competition from Bluesky and Meta’s Threads.
