Elon Musk Announces Twitter Logo Change to “X” – Big Move Since $44 Billion Purchase of Social Media Platform

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has announced that the iconic blue bird logo of Twitter will be replaced with an “X” later today. The change marks the latest big move since Musk purchased the social media platform for $44 billion last year.

Early Sunday, Musk posted a short video of a flickering “X” on his Twitter account, and later confirmed the logo change in an audio chat on Twitter Spaces. Musk had originally said the change would happen Monday, but later tweeted that the “Interim X logo goes live later today.”

The shift from bird imagery to that of a capital letter is the latest big change since Musk bought Twitter. The move follows the launch of xAI, a startup that seeks to understand the true nature of the universe.

The new logo is sure to be a big hit with Twitter users, and it will be interesting to see how the change affects the platform. It’s clear that Musk is looking to make big changes to the platform, and this logo switch is just the latest example. Only time will tell what other changes he has in store for the social media giant.
