Elon Musk is leading yet another change at Twitter, this time ditching the platform's iconic blue bird logo for an "X." It's the first step in a full rebrand for the company.

@Atlantafied9 months ago I guess paying 24 billion dollars more for Twitter than it was actually worth wasn't a big enough L for Elon. 😆 26

@NZobservatory9 months ago On the one hand "Twitter" always seemed like a stupid name. On the other, it's kind of amazing he didn't rename it "Q". 4

@allencarlson61289 months ago When it comes to social media, media ALWAYS ignores the fact the there are (still) a lot of people who reject social media. Albeit that it is a relatively small number of people, the fact that they exist COUNTS. There is a good reason why those people do not engage with social media. Social media has more down sides than up. People who have elected not to place their voices in the hands of machines should not be ignored. ... 6

@trixlette2jo1759 months ago Twitter now to be rebranded as "X", by Elon Musk:
The "X" his thing, he has a long history with the letter "X". His holdings are called "X Holdings", a start up is called "xAI", his rocket is "SpaceX" and one of his kids is names "X Æ A-12". So "X: does fit in with his life style of things lol. And on a side note, Elon has been married, and he has 3 "X" wives. :) ... 1

@

@ryanweaver9629 months ago I like the intersection of “X” in civilized discourse. Makes sense, Twitter always struck me as a bit too combative for me… perhaps there’s places for that. Who am I to judge… I like better insights. It’s a lot.
