Twitter owner Elon Musk stated that he wants to remove the Twitter bird logo and replace it with one “X”. However, Elon Musk has a history of making statements that don’t come true or aren’t serious. The owner of Twitter, which has changed the name of the business to X Corp, said the replacement “should have happened a long time ago”.

According to reports, the billionaire wants to create a “super app” called “X”, which will be similar to China’s WeChat.

On Sunday, July 23, 2023, he announced his desire to change the Twitter logo, tweeting: “And soon we will say goodbye to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds». He then stated that a temporary logo would go live later that day.

Musk tweeted an image of a flashing “X” and later, in an audio chat on Twitter Spaces, answered “Yes” when asked if he would change Twitter’s logo, adding that it “should have been done a long time ago.”

The company’s CEO, Linda Yaccarino, wrote on the platform that the rebrand is an exciting new opportunity. “Twitter made a huge impression and changed the way we communicate“, he said. “Now, X will go even further…».

The bird is called Larrywhich Twitter co-founder Biz Stone said in 2011 was a tribute to basketball star and Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird.

For some people in Asia, super-apps such as India’s PayTM and Indonesia’s GoJek, have been a vital part of everyday life in recent years. Apps allow users to pay for services through a funding system.

WeChat is a messaging and social media platform that has grown into one of the largest applications in the region in terms of its range of services and number of users. Last year, it was estimated to have 1.29 billion users in China alone.

Since Musk bought Twitter in October 2022, the company changed its corporate name to X Corp. Twitter’s website says its logo, which depicts a blue bird, is “our most recognizable asset.” “That’s why we protect it so much.”

The company temporarily replaced the logo in April with Dogecoin’s Shiba Inu dog, helping the coin’s purchase value soar. Twitter’s most recent complication was a lawsuit filed last Tuesday that claims the company owes at least $500 million in damages to former employees. Since Mr. Musk bought it, the company has laid off more than half its workforce.
