Elon Musk is greatly improving the experience on Twitter, making it a very attractive platform. Although I don’t have a verified account on X (formerly Twitter), the exciting benefits that X Premium users are receiving are making me reconsider the value of having that blue verification mark.
Speaking about juicy stuff, @X has tweeted about the upcoming enhancements in video and media services for its verified users. Analysing these forthcoming benefits reveals that X is evolving into X², gaining even more strength and impact. This means the company is strengthening its offerings significantly.
Let’s take a closer look at these anticipated features that are too enticing to resist.

Earlier this month, we shared news about X, detailing how the app underwent an impressive 20 notable updates within just four days. August alone saw a new surge of updates to the app, with Elon Musk and his team working diligently to enhance the user experience and introduce valuable features. These changes align closely with Elon Musk’s overarching vision of shaping X into what he envisions as an “everything app.” There are even speculations that X, formerly known as Twitter, might be on its way to transforming into a comprehensive media app under this strategic direction.
