Elon Musk announces to replace Twitter's bird logo with 'X' later today. Twitter’s Elon Musk has announced that he is replacing the platform’s longtime bird logo with letter 'X'. He tweeted, 'X.com now points to Twitter.com. Interim X logo goes live later today.' The Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino described ‘X’ as, 'the future state of unlimited interactivity – centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities. Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we’re just beginning to imagine.'
This has not come as a surprise, since Musk has had a long affinity with the letter ‘X’. This dates back to 1999, when he co-founded X.com, an online bank, that merged with another start-up to create PayPal.
