Elon Musk Announces Rebranding of Twitter to ‘X’
Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, has announced that the social media platform will be officially rebranded as ‘X’ from today. The move marks the end of an era for the iconic blue bird logo that has been synonymous with the platform since its inception. Musk has been hinting at the rebranding for a while now, and in a recent tweet, he mentioned that he will bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.
New Title: Chief Nothing Officer
Musk, who was previously known as the “Chief Twit,” has now relinquished that title and announced that he will now hold the title of “Chief Nothing Officer.” This announcement was made in response to a tweet by DogeDesigner, a graphic designer affiliated with Dogecoin, who asked, “What will be Elon Musk’s new title instead of ‘Chief Twit’?” Musk’s response has generated a lot of buzz on social media.
The Obsession with ‘X’
Musk’s obsession with the letter ‘X’ is well-known, as he has used it repeatedly in company and product names. He purchased Twitter last year for $44 billion and merged the company into an entity called X Corp. His ultimate vision is to create the X “everything app,” similar to China’s WeChat, which offers services including mobile payments and social media under one umbrella.
In tweet, a user asked what if the platform’s users will now be called “Xers”. Mr Musk in a cryptic manner replied, “We will have no name.”
The New Logo: An ‘X’
The rebranding of Twitter to ‘X’ also marks the end of an era for the iconic blue bird logo that has been synonymous with the platform since its inception. Musk hinted that the new logo would be an ‘X’, and if a good enough X logo was posted that night, it would go live worldwide the next day.
