Musk did something big late at night:
The Twitter bluebird logo is history, and the temporary X Logo will be launched .
and is possible like this:
He also emailed Twitter employees, telling them that this was the last time he would send emails from his Twitter address, the source said.
X.com has also redirected to Twitter.com.
Musk’s series of actions have caused a lot of dissatisfaction among netizens, and various stalks have come one after another.
Some netizens asked their souls: What words will we use instead of "tweet" and "retweet"?
As of press time, Musk's profile picture has also been changed.
When I woke up, the blue bird was gone
Suddenly, Musk dropped a big bullet to Twitter users late at night:
Soon we will say goodbye to the Twitter brand, and gradually to all birds.
If there is a good enough X Logo released tonight, we will be live globally tomorrow.
Then he sent multiple tweets in a row, for example, it might look like this-X Logo placed on a black background.
The move surprised people, including Twitter employees.
You know, a few hours ago the company's branding page declared: Our logo is our most recognizable asset, which is why we protect it so much.
Marketing expert Ben Parr quipped:
Expect Musk to explain to me that destroying a globally recognized brand is a smart business decision.
Linda Yaccarino , the new CEO of Twitter , also posted multiple tweets, revealing the future shape and specific measures of X.
Twitter was impressive and changed the way we communicate; now X will go one step further and change the global marketplace.
Driven by AI, X will serve as the future state of infinite interaction, centered on audio, video, messaging, and payment, creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities.
At the same time, she also emphasized that there is no limit to such a transformation , and X will become a platform that can pay for everything.
Musk: I just like X
But as Musk said, not sure what the subtle clue is, but I just like the letter X.
In the past two decades, almost everything Musk has touched has the letter "X"——
The original name of the earliest PayPal was X.com; later, SpaceX and Tesla Model X all had X in their names; he also expressed his hope to turn Twitter into X, an omnipotent app like WeChat.

Back in 2017, he bought the defunct domain name from PayPal.
It is said that the domain name is not cheap, but the parties did not disclose the specific price paid. For reference, Z.com sold for $6.8 million in 2014.
It is worth mentioning that some enthusiastic netizens suggested that X.com should be used as an umbrella website for all other companies.
Well, what do you think of Musk's operation of changing the Twitter logo to an X?
