The tweet embed doesn’t appear to work since Twitter rebranded to X.  Is there a solution to embedding tweets?

Do you know about removing the "?" and everything after?

The change needed is some instructions in the pop up box to embed I think.

This is what a link looks like if you just copy it:

https://x.com/johnhackerla/status/1692392959252340982?s=(number)&t=(some gobbledygook)

If you delete the question mark and everything after, and replace “x” with “twitter” it embeds like before. This will work:

https://twitter.com/johnhackerla/status/1692392959252340982

Could we change it though so it will accept x.com and not just twitter.com? Would save the extra step.

This brand change by Twitter is beyond weird. Elon took a brand that is so ubiquitous that it has become a verb, and change it to something that cannot be used interchangeably.

"I tweeted it" or "Did you see that tweet?"
"I X'd it" or "Did you see that X'd?"
