Twitter changes its name and also says goodbye to the iconic bird of the social network

It’s official: Twitter will be renamed to X. This was confirmed by Elon Musk, who in October 2022 acquired a social network with the aim of creating a kind of all-in-one platform where, in addition to sharing publications, we can make payments, view news and perform other procedures.

For now, Elon Musk is sharing various posts on his Twitter profile related to the name change, such as: the emergence of a new social network logo, which will remove the popular bluebird for X with a black background. The mogul confirmed yesterday that it will be launched “within a day”; probably the first in America.

Musk repeated the change in a Twitter Spaces session, in which he remained silent for a long time. He also stressed that they “cut the Twitter logo off the building with torches” to replace it with an X.

The owner of Twitter also confirmed that X.com will now redirect to twitter.com. And as said edge, the mogul even sent out an email to his employees, assuring them that it was the last email they received, with the name and design we know of at the moment. These are changes that really didn’t come as a surprise since we’ve known for a long time that Twitter as a company has been rebranded as X corp.

It will be X, the new social network known until now as Twitter.

Linda Jacarino, CEO of Twitter, was in charge of previewing any news that might come with the name change. The performer claims that X will be “focused on audio, video, messaging, payments and banking.”, with the goal of “creating a global marketplace for ideas, products, services and opportunities”. It is also emphasized that the new platform will be controlled by artificial intelligence. “There are absolutely no limits to this transformation. X will be a platform that can offer, well… everything,” he stressed in a tweet.

At the moment yes We won’t know when this news will arrive at X, still known as Twitter since both Elon Musk and Yacarino only confirmed the new logo’s immediate appearance. In fact, both profiles on the platform show that they are accounts associated with X. The social network’s official Twitter account has also changed its name and logo, although its username is still @twitter.
