Pattern

regexGO
https?:\/\/(?:www\.)?(?:twitter|x)\.com\/([A-Za-z0-9_]{1,15})(?:\/status\/(\d+))?   (flags: g)

Go (RE2) code

goGo
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"regexp"
)

func main() {
	re := regexp.MustCompile(`https?:\/\/(?:www\.)?(?:twitter|x)\.com\/([A-Za-z0-9_]{1,15})(?:\/status\/(\d+))?`)
	input := `https://twitter.com/jack/status/20`
	for _, match := range re.FindAllString(input, -1) {
		fmt.Println(match)
	}
}

Uses `regexp.MustCompile` (panics on bad patterns at startup) and `FindAllString` for all matches.

How the pattern works

https?:\/\/(?:www\.)?(?:twitter|x)\.com matches the domain — both legacy twitter.com and current x.com, with optional www. ([A-Za-z0-9_]{1,15}) captures the handle. (?:\/status\/(\d+))? optionally captures a tweet ID for status URLs.
