Twitter X: Elon Musk rebrands Twitter to X; replaces iconic blue bird logo

Twitter has unveiled its new logo, bidding farewell to the blue bird and embracing an X instead. The company's website now features the fresh logo: a white X against a black backdrop, marking the platform's shift. Elon Musk initiated this shift when he tweeted about the change, leading to the blue bird shedding its feathers and making way for the new symbol. X.com now redirects to Twitter.com, and Musk sent an email to Twitter employees revealing the new name "X." A GIF of the minimalistic logo, offered by a Twitter user, was pinned by Musk, replacing everything from the website to the URL and even the Twitter Headquarters. While some Musk fans have praised the change, it has also sparked a Meme-Fest among users. Some even demanded a formal logo launch with Musk's iconic dance moves. So, why "X"? The letter "X" holds immense significance in Musk's journey, representing everything he has touched over the last two-plus decades. Back in 1999, he co-founded X.com, an online bank that eventually became PayPal in 2017. Moreover, Musk has previously spoken about "X" as a fintech platform for comprehensive financial solutions. Additionally, the video touches upon other companies that are part of Musk's X Corp, including Twitter, SpaceX, Neuralink, Tesla, and OpenAI.
