Elon Musk, the billionaire behind Twitter’s acquisition, reveals plans to replace the iconic bird logo with an “interim X” design. The move is part of a series of controversial changes under his leadership, signaling a major shift for the social media platform.
Musk’s vision for Twitter, now officially named X Holdings Corp, aims to create an all-encompassing app, combining social media and payment functionalities similar to China’s WeChat. The new logo, represented by an X, is set to launch soon, according to Musk’s recent tweets.
Despite his ambitious plans, Twitter has faced challenges since the acquisition. Losing half of its advertising revenue and dealing with a debt burden, the platform also witnessed a significant departure of advertisers who were concerned about the new owner’s changes and content policies.
Musk’s decisions have been met with criticism, leading to revisions and backlashes. Nevertheless, the tech mogul remains determined to transform Twitter into a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities.
As Musk teases the potential transformation of Twitter’s logo, uncertainty surrounds the future branding direction of the platform. Only time will tell if the “X” will become a permanent emblem of Twitter’s new identity.
