It is not yet known at what stage the project is, when it will be launched, whether it is planned to put up for sale all the names or not.

Billionaire Elon Musk bought the social network in October 2022 for $44 billion. After that, the company began large-scale layoffs, the accounts of some well-known journalists were blocked, but Donald Trump was unblocked, although he just didn’t want to return.

In addition, Musk announced a large-scale update of the social network. Among the improvements, the function of publishing long posts and text formatting is expected.
