Twitter, Elon Musk’s social media platform, is about to undergo a major rebranding. Musk has announced that the platform’s name will soon change to “X,” and all bird symbols, a long-standing logo for the platform, will be phased out.
The Verge reports that Musk took to Twitter to announce the upcoming changes, stating, “Soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.” The tech mogul has been steering Twitter through a series of changes since acquiring the platform last year for a massive $44 billion — even though about half his purchase price has already been wiped out.
In a series of tweets, Musk also hinted at a potential change in the platform’s default color. “Paint It Black,” he posted, followed by a user poll asking whether the platform’s default color should be changed to black. He further added, “If a good enough X logo is posted tonight, we’ll make go live worldwide tomorrow.”
The decision to incorporate an “X” into the logo aligns with Musk’s penchant for the letter, which has been a recurring element in his various ventures. From X.com, the original name for Paypal, to SpaceX, the private American aerospace manufacturer and space transportation company, the “X” has been a consistent feature in Musk’s corporate and product names.
Musk’s vision for Twitter extends beyond a mere logo change. He has expressed interest in transforming Twitter into “X, the everything app,” modeled on China’s WeChat. “Buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app,” Musk tweeted last year.

Plus Musk is particularly fond of human beings with TWO X CHROMOSOMES,
Not everyone’s thing, but I always thought it was a great album.
I’d bet it’s the beginning of the “X” ecosystem. He’s made no secret that’s his endgame: search engines, streaming services, banking system, currency... Twitter is just the first step toward that.
Maybe Musk is a fan of Brand X.
They could lay down some funk.

It’s dumb. Twitter is a well established, huge brand and “tweet” in the dictionary has the Twitter meaning as a second definition. Ridiculous decision. But these types always have to mess with things. Musk is better than most, but still...
So it’s true, then. Elon *is* a Xilian in a human suit.
facebook did NOT change to "Meta"
The brand-name and the product/service is still called Facebook
The holding company is Meta
Just as Google is the product/service and the holding company is Alphabet.
“It’s dumb. Twitter is a well established, huge brand and “tweet” in the dictionary has the Twitter meaning as a second definition. Ridiculous decision.”
This is going to be interesting from a marketing point of View.
X, as in censored.
Twitter bird symbol may change...but not mine.

Well, everyone has at least one X.
Males, and Females.
So Musk is saying there are only TWO sexes/genders, maybe.
