Elon Musk said he plans to change Twitter’s logo to an “X” from the famous blue bird symbol, which would be the last major change since he bought the social media platform for $44 billion last year.
On Sunday, the billionaire owner of Twitter said in a series of posts on his account that he was going to make the change globally as soon as possible on Monday. He wrote on Twitter: “And soon we will say goodbye to the twitter brand and gradually to all the birds”.
Musk posted an image of a flashing “X” and later answered “Yes” in the Twitter Spaces audio chat when asked if Twitter’s logo would change, adding that “it should have been done a long time ago.”

Under Musk’s tumultuous tenure since he bought Twitter in October 2022, the company changed its business name to X Corp, reflecting his vision to create a “super app” like China’s WeChat.
Last October, he said that “Twitter’s purchase is an accelerator to create X, the everything app.”
