X automatically changed 'Twitter' to 'X' in domain names, breaking legit URLs
mashable.com
On Monday, it appears X attempted to encourage users to cease referring to it as Twitter and instead adopt the name X. Some users began noticing that posts viewed via X for iOS were changing any references of "Twitter.com" to "X.com" automatically.
If a user typed in "Twitter.com," they would see "Twitter.com" as they typed it before hitting "Post." But, after submitting, the platform would show "X.com" in its place on the X for iOS app, without the user's permission, for everyone viewing the post.
And shortly after this revelation, it became clear that there was another big issue: X was changing anything ending in "Twitter.com" to "X.com."

Prob too many references to twitter.com in their code or whatever to fix or something similar?
find -type f -exec sed -i 's/twitter.com/x.com/g' {}\;Take a backup first in case it breaks something, which it most likely will.

Partially because you didn't escape the dots.
Tell me you didn't read the article without telling me you didn't read the article.
Not like he doesn't have the money to hire some people to get it done.
Not when he can just threaten everyone and tell them that they will all sleep on air mattresses at the office until it is done.
