Twitter is transforming into X, as the site’s iconic former bird logo has now been replaced by an official new X logo.
Elon Musk, who owns the site, tweeted Sunday morning ‘and soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.’ signalling a new beginning for the microblogging platform.
Mr Musk wants to create a ‘super app,’ a new kind of social media platform that he has been talking about creating for months.
Musk’s ‘everything app’ is part of his vision after acquiring Twitter for $44 billion in November 2022.
In a tweet on Monday morning, Twitter Chief Linda Yaccarino said ‘X is here! Let’s do this.’
‘Tweets” will also be replaced by ‘x’s,’ Musk said.
The billionaire changed his profile picture to the new logo and added ‘X.com’ to his Twitter bio.
He then shared a picture of the new X branding projected onto the side of Twitter headquarters in San Francisco.
