Tech mogul Elon Musk has announced plans to revive Vine, the once-popular short-form video app, with a futuristic twist. In a post shared via his official X (formerly Twitter) handle on July 24, 2025, Musk revealed that the platform will make a comeback as a feature within X, equipped with cutting-edge generative AI technology powered by xAI.
Originally launched in 2013 and discontinued by Twitter in 2017, Vine was known for its six-second looping videos that helped launch the careers of many digital creators. Musk’s new iteration aims to reimagine the platform for today’s content landscape, blending creativity with artificial intelligence.
“We’re bringing back Vine,” Musk wrote. “But in AI form”, he added.
According to Musk, the revived Vine will allow users to create short-form videos simply by typing out descriptions, which will then be transformed into video content using xAI’s generative video capabilities. This marks a significant leap in user-generated content, merging creativity with the ease of automation.
The announcement signals Musk’s broader ambition to transform X into a super app—a single platform that combines social media, finance, AI, and entertainment under one digital roof.
Industry analysts suggest the move could challenge platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts by providing not just a space for content sharing, but a powerful tool for AI-driven content creation.
While further technical details remain under wraps, excitement is already building around the reintroduction of the iconic brand. Musk’s decision taps into a wave of nostalgia while positioning X at the frontier of generative media.
With a launch timeline set for late 2025, creators, influencers, and tech enthusiasts alike are watching closely to see how Vine’s second act will reshape the short-form video space in the age of artificial intelligence.
