Elon Musk’s obsession with the letter X is well known.
Twitter has replaced its iconic bird logo with the letter “X” as its new official logo, marking the latest major change following Elon Musk’s acquisition of the social media platform. “X.com now points to Twitter.com. The interim X logo will go live later today,” Mr Musk tweeted.
Twitter, which was founded in 2006 and whose name is a play on the sound of birds chirping, has used the Avian branding since its early days. The blue bird logo has served as Twitter’s visual identity since its inception, but has now been replaced by a striking white ‘X’.
Soon after the announcement, Twitter’s new identity and name started trending on the microblogging website, leading to a flood of hilarious memes and jokes. Many were curious to know what would be said to X.com users and employees, and what would be said to Mr. Musk from here on out.
One user joked, “After the Twitter NG logo is changed from a bird to an X, Twitter users will henceforth be known as the X-Men; Twitter videos will be considered XVideos; Twitter influencers must hold an X-rated title; And those who leave the app will be affectionately called ex-lovers.”

This rebranding comes as no surprise, as the billionaire’s obsession with the letter ‘X’ is well known. Six months after acquiring Twitter for $44 billion, he merged the company into a single entity called X Corp, saying Twitter is an accelerator to build everything apps called X.
He has repeatedly expressed his ambition to develop a “one-stop shop” app that would integrate features of social media and payment apps similar to China’s WeChat, which is owned by Chinese tech giant Tencent.
Tesla’s CEO has a well-documented habit of naming things with the letter X. His company SpaceX, his electric car Model X and even one of his children, X AE A-XII, all contain the letter X in their names. Earlier this month, Mr Musk launched his own artificial intelligence company, XAI, with the aim of challenging OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT.
