Twitter’s recent decision to rebrand itself as “X” has caused a stir on social media, with many users drawing comparisons to the adult video streaming site “Xvideos.” The trend has taken off, with “Xvideos” becoming one of the top trends on Twitter since the announcement.
Twitter’s new branding, which began with the website X.com redirecting to Twitter’s homepage, features a stylized white “X” logo on a black background. While the company’s official account and some secondary accounts have already adopted the new branding, other accounts like Twitter support still carry the old branding.
Elon Musk, the owner of the site that owns Twitter, did not shy away from joking about potentially changing other elements of Twitter’s branding, including the phrase “tweets” and its premium service “Twitter Blue.”
