Twitter Logo Change from Bird to "X", Elon Musk Revealed

• Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk announced plans to change Twitter's iconic bird logo to an "X", sparking massive reactions
• The billionaire entrepreneur said that all the birds would disappear from the platform as soon as the replacement is made
• Musk has made several changes since he bought the bird-app for in 2022, including sacking employees

Twitter owner Elon Musk has announced his intention to change the logo from the iconic blue bird to an "X."

In a tweet that garnered massive attention and speculation, Musk wrote:

"Thinking of changing the Twitter logo to X…" accompanied by a mysterious emoji.

The 52-year-old Tesla founder has previously said that his rocky takeover of Twitter last year was "an accelerant to creating X, the everything app," a reference to the X.com company he founded in 1999, a later version of which went on to become PayPal.

Such an app could still function as a social media platform, and also include messaging and mobile payments.

Musk has already named Twitter's parent company the X Corporation.

"If a good enough X logo is posted tonight, we’ll make (it) go live worldwide tomorrow," he said.

Musk went on to make several other X-related comments, saying a new emblem should be "of course, Art Deco" style and that under the site's new identity a post would be called "an X."

Twitter is thought to have around 200 million daily active users but it has suffered repeated technical failures since the tycoon bought the so-called bird app for $44 billion in 2022 and sacked much of its staff.
