Twitter’s owner, Elon Musk, declared today that the website X.com will henceforth link visitors to Twitter.com. He also claimed that a “interim X logo” will take the place of the Twitter bird logo.
Musk had been discussing this shift for some time, tweeting about Twitter becoming “X.” He even said they would go live globally with an X logo if one was posted that was good enough.
Musk tweeted about the move all night long and engaged in conversation with other users. He joined a Twitter Spaces session and joked that they would use blowtorches to remove the Twitter logo from the structure as confirmation that the change in the logo would take place.
Musk also informed Twitter staff of the renaming in an email, adding that it was his final time emailing them from a Twitter address.
Although the new logo has not been made official, a gif sent by Sawyer Merritt on Twitter is being evaluated.
In Musk’s business endeavors, the letter “X” has long been prominent, appearing in a number of company and product names. PayPal’s first name was X.com, and it’s also used in the names of the Tesla and SpaceX SUVs. Musk has said he wants Twitter to become “X, the everything app.”
Since Musk acquired Twitter last year, the company’s identity has undergone a substantial transformation. Other improvements made while it was under his management include restricting direct messages (DMs) for non-paying users and adding a hiring option for Verified Organizations.
Twitter also intends to enable users to write lengthy and intricate articles on the platform, which was formerly known as “Articles” and “Notes.”
