Elon Musk Confirms TikTok Takeover, Rebranding as “X-Videos” in Record-Breaking Deal Worth Double X



In yet another shocking twist in the ever-expanding Elon Musk universe, the tech mogul has announced his official takeover of TikTok, renaming the platform to the eyebrow-raising “X-Videos.” The deal, reportedly worth double the value of X (formerly known as Twitter), has sent shockwaves through social media, leaving both financial analysts and confused parents scrambling for answers.

The Deal That No One Saw Coming

Musk, who has been on an acquisition spree since purchasing Twitter in 2022, made the announcement in his usual style—via a cryptic late-night tweet that simply read: “Time to put the ‘X’ in TikTok. #XVideosTakeover”

The tweet immediately sent the internet into a frenzy, with reactions ranging from admiration to outright disbelief. While details of the deal remain under wraps, sources close to Musk claim that his goal is to create a unified social media empire where “everything is X, and X is everything.”

Why “X-Videos” and Not Just “XTok”?

Many questioned the choice of the name “X-Videos,” given its ahem rather famous association. When asked about the branding decision, Musk reportedly smirked and said, “Let’s be honest, people were already glued to their screens watching content non-stop. Why not lean into it?”

Industry experts speculate that the move is part of Musk’s broader vision to integrate AI-driven content, real-time interactions, and, of course, monetization models that will make advertisers both excited and deeply uncomfortable.

Public Reaction: Chaos Ensues

As expected, the internet has reacted in its usual chaotic fashion. TikTok influencers have already started rebranding their profiles, unsure if they should embrace the change or delete their accounts entirely. One viral comment read, “I can’t believe my dance videos are now part of X-Videos. My career is over.”

Meanwhile, users who misread the announcement rushed to download the app, only to be left deeply confused when their usual content remained unchanged. “I came for one thing and stayed for another,” wrote one baffled user.

What’s Next?

With this latest acquisition, speculation is running wild about Musk’s next move. Will Instagram become “X-Posure”? Will YouTube be rebranded as “X-Tube”? And most importantly, will anyone be able to keep a straight face while discussing the future of “X-Videos” in a boardroom?

For now, Musk remains characteristically unfazed by the noise, stating simply: “Adapt or get left behind. X marks the future.”

Whether this bold rebranding will be a stroke of genius or a meme-worthy misstep remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure—Elon Musk knows exactly how to keep the internet talking.
