Elon Musk’s Twitter to be Renamed ‘X’ as Part of Rebranding Plan
- ByStartupStory | July 24, 2023
Tech mogul Elon Musk has recently revealed his visionary plans for a major transformation of the renowned social media platform, Twitter. The revolutionary changes include a rebranding initiative, where the iconic blue bird logo will be replaced with the letter ‘X.’ In a tweet, Musk announced that X dot com now redirects to Twitter dot com, signaling the first step towards the exciting transformation.
To mark this momentous occasion, an interim X logo was unveiled, which will be featured on the platform. The transition towards the new X branding has commenced, and Twitter’s official handle has been changed to X, accompanied by a new X profile picture.
However, this bold move has sparked mixed reactions from users on the microblogging site. While many have embraced the changes with enthusiasm, others expressed concerns over the departure from the familiar blue bird logo. Some users pointed out the uniqueness and brand recognition associated with the term “Tweet” and “Retweet,” wishing other social platforms had created similarly iconic verbs.
Nevertheless, the Twitter community has been creatively sharing memes and graphics to bid farewell to the beloved blue bird app, showcasing their humorous take on the transformation.
Elon Musk, the visionary entrepreneur behind this transformation, has been reshaping the company since his acquisition of Twitter in a monumental $44 billion deal last year. Under his leadership, Twitter has witnessed significant changes, including a shake-up of senior executives.
