Twitter's First Tweet Marks 20th Anniversary Amid Platform Evolution

Twitter's first tweet, posted by co-founder Jack Dorsey on March 21, 2006, has reached its 20th anniversary. According to PANews, the tweet, which read "just setting up my twttr," has been archived by the Computer History Museum and recognized by the Guinness World Records. Its NFT version sold for approximately $2.9 million in 2021, cementing its status as a significant piece of internet history. Since then, Twitter has undergone several major transformations. After being acquired by Elon Musk, the platform was renamed X and integrated into xAI, which later became part of SpaceX. Currently, X maintains a strong influence among core user groups in the tech industry but faces competition from platforms like Bluesky and Meta's Threads.
