New Delhi, 23rd July 2023: Elon Musk has recently hinted at the demise of the Twitter brand. Musk wrote in a tweet, ‘And soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.’ During a Spaces interview, Elon Musk confirmed the change and stated that “it should have been done a long time ago.”
Musk also asked followers to submit logo ideas for the new Twitter brand in a Tweet.
Musk wrote, “If a good enough X logo is posted tonight, we’ll make go live worldwide tomorrow.”
Later, he posted a video showing one of the prospective new logos, as well as a prototype Twitter logo, in order to crowdsource the new design.
Musk commented on a prospective logo in a tweet, saying that it should “embody the imperfections in us all that make us unique.” The billionaire said that the company will go global tomorrow if a decent enough X logo is posted in the next several hours.
Twitter’s official name change to X Corp was announced in May. The social media firm said that the ‘Terms of Service’ and ‘Privacy Policy’ pages had been modified to reflect that “Twitter Inc is now X Corp.”
Elon Musk, the company’s billionaire CEO, intends to expand on his ultimate vision of the “everything app” X. Musk’s goals for Twitter include transforming it into a “X” mega app similar to China’s WeChat, offering services such as mobile payments and social media under one roof.
