Twitter’s Elon Musk has announced that he is replacing the platform’s longtime bird logo with letter 'X'. He tweeted, 'X.com now points to Twitter.com. Interim X logo goes live later today.' The Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino described ‘X’ as, 'the future state of unlimited interactivity – centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities. Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we’re just beginning to imagine.'
This has not come as a surprise, since Musk has had a long affinity with the letter ‘X’. This dates back to 1999, when he co-founded X.com, an online bank, that merged with another start-up to create PayPal.
Twitter has recently witnessed a dip in advertising revenue during the departure of sales executives. They claimed that the platform has become more prone to problematic content. Musk’s social media platform is also facing tough competition from Mark Zuckerberg’s Threads app which was off to a great start when it was launched earlier this year.
With the new strange choice of logo for Twitter, users have mixed reactions on the internet. Here are a few that you won't want to miss.
