Twitter is undergoing a major change: the platform will soon
be known as “X,” as confirmed by the CEO Elon Musk himself. When you visit X.com,
you will be redirected to Twitter.com, and will also see a new “interim X logo”
in place of the iconic bird logo for Twitter.
The day before, Musk joined a Twitter Spaces session where after an hour of silence, he finally confirmed that the new Twitter logo would be out the next day. While Twitter’s business has already been renamed as X corp, it’s the first time that the platform’s logo will become a symbol for the change.
Among the several tweets regarding the news that he posted
last night, Musk made an offer saying “if a good enough X logo is posted
tonight, we’ll make go live worldwide tomorrow.” He then reposted a GIF of a potential
logo posted by a user, proceeding to also make it his profile image. CEO Linda
Yaccarino shared the same logo as well, saying “X is here! Let’s do this.”
