Elon Musk just confirmed that Vine is coming back, but this time as an AI-powered Vine. The news broke in a post on X, where Musk wrote, “We’re bringing back Vine, but in AI form.”
No further details were shared, and X hasn’t commented. It’s unclear whether this means new creation tools powered by AI, or smarter discovery and personalization. Either way, it marks a major shift for a platform that helped kick off the short-form video boom over a decade ago.
Vine originally launched in 2013, giving users six seconds to create looping videos. It quickly became a cultural staple and helped popularize short-form video content years before TikTok or Instagram Reels came onto the scene. Despite its success, Twitter shut the app down in 2017 due to financial and growth challenges.
Now Musk is betting that nostalgia combined with AI could bring Vine back into relevance. Since buying Twitter in 2022, he’s floated the idea of reviving Vine several times. This is the first time he’s stated clearly that it’s in motion.
There’s no timeline or feature set yet, but the platform will be entering a competitive space. TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts already dominate the short-form market. Vine’s success this time will depend on how different the AI integration actually feels.
Still, if anyone can stir up attention around an AI-powered Vine, it’s Musk. Whether it becomes the future of short video or just a curious side project, all eyes are on X for what happens next.
