On Sunday, Twitter owner Elon Musk said that he plans to change the name and Twitter logo. He tweeted, “And we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds”. X.com now points to Twitter.com.
Musk hinted that the new brand logo resembles his all-time favorite, “X.”. On this Twitter account, Wolfo asked him, “What will be the new name for a tweet once Twitter changes its name to X?” For this, Musk replied, “An X.” And also, Musk said that the users of Twitter should not be called “Xers”, but they remarked, “We’ll have no name”.
Last year, Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion, which is now renamed “X.”. He has a different obsession with X. The obsession with X can be seen by his tweet: “Not sure what subtle clues gave it way, but I like the letter X.”
In April, while welcoming new CEO Linda Yaccarino, he mentioned “X’ at that time by tweeting, “Looking forward to working with Linda to transform the platform into X, the everything app”. In 1999, Musk founded an online bank, X.com, and then merged it with PayPal. After that, in 2017, he said that he would purchase X.com from PayPal.
Musk’s company name changed to X Corp. It seems like he wants to create a superapp like China’s WeChat. Space Exploration Technologies Corp., Musk’s Rocket Company, is commonly known as SpaceX. Musk said that this month, Twitter lost half of its advertising revenues.
Elon Musk also spoke about the default program being set to be black rather than white. This is not the first time that there has been a change on Twitter. Before this, in April 2023, Musk replaced the blue bird logo with the logo of Dogecoin, a crypto currency.
“#goodbyetwitter” is very popular on social media platforms. Many people criticized the new changes on Twitter. It’s a great deal to change a great platform like Twitter and have to make a new impression on the world at the same time.
