Elon Musk’s X will display which nation users post from

Elon Musk’s X has abandoned its old verification program for users back when the platform was still known as Twitter. Since then, X has been a haven for misinformation and racism.

However, according to X’s new product manager, Nikita Bier, the site is planning a profile overhaul to try to restore user trust. In an article on X, Bier explain that the platform is currently testing a new profile display that lists the country the user is based in, when they joined the site, how the user accessed X, and how many username changes the account has undergone.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It may be loading or has been deleted.

X users can currently indicate their location in their profile. However, it appears that the new profile information page is not user-generated. The platform will display where the account is based via the location the user is actually posting from.

“When you read content on X, you should be able to verify its authenticity,” Bier posted on

Bier says there will be “toggles” that allow users to make specific information private to protect the privacy of certain users. However, Bier says any information configured by a user will be highlighted so other users know it as well. Bier also noted that they are experimenting with exactly what information to include in this section, so new account data may be added or removed as X tests the feature.

The blue verification badge was once an indicator that a user was a trusted source on Now any user can pay $8 per month to sign up for X Premium and receive a blue verification badge. As a result, spammers and agitators have used their verified status as a weapon to spread scams and misinformation on the platform.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, provides similar types of information for certain pages and profiles on their platform. For example, a user can go to the About section of any Facebook page and see the country of origin of the users behind the page, as well as any name changes the page has undergone.

According to Bier, X will begin rolling out the new policy to a “handful” of X employee profiles to get feedback.
