Elon Musk’s X, formerly Twitter, plans to resurrect Vine, the beloved short-form video platform, almost a decade after its demise. Musk announced the return in “AI form” on X, sparking excitement but leaving many details shrouded in mystery. The platform, once renowned for its six-second looping videos, was discontinued in 2016.
While Musk’s announcement was brief and X has yet to elaborate, the move signifies a strategic play in the competitive video-sharing market. Since acquiring Twitter in 2022, Musk has repeatedly teased Vine’s comeback, even engaging users in polls about its potential revival. This “AI form” likely suggests a revamped Vine leveraging artificial intelligence for content creation, recommendation, or moderation, offering a modern twist on the classic format. The specifics, however, remain to be seen.
